A ‘REALGAR’ GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE, IMPERIAL GLASSWORKS, 18TH CENTURY
十八世紀御製仿雄黃料器鼻烟壺

Sold for €1,300

including Buyer's Premium


Lot details

China, Beijing. The ovoid body rising from a flat oval foot to a waisted neck, decorated with a striking pattern of reddish-orange patches with opaque orange borders on a brown reserve.

Provenance: Jutheau, Paris, 21 November 1993, lot 128. French private collection, by repute acquired from the above (invoice lost). Thence by descent within the family to the last owner.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, manufacturing flaws such as the asymmetrical mouth, small nick and minute nibbles to the mouth.

Stopper: Wood stopper
Weight: 46.6 g
Dimensions: Height including stopper 86 mm. Diameter neck 14 mm and mouth 7 mm

Expert note: Note the asymmetrical mouth opening, which clearly proves that the complete body of the body was blown into a form, and polished only later, indicating an earlier date for this bottle, as further confirmed by the elongated, slightly leaning form.

Realgar-glass is assumed to have been developed at the Imperial glassworks during the Kangxi period, when production was under the directorship of Kilian Stumpf and his fellow Jesuits, who set up the glassworks for the Emperor in 1696. Glass copies of realgar were a staple of the Imperial glassworks in Beijing, and plain realgar glass snuff bottles were made in large numbers throughout the eighteenth century, a large proportion of which was apparently produced to be distributed as gifts.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related realgar glass snuff bottle, dated 1700-1760, in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1886,1013.12.

十八世紀御製仿雄黃料器鼻烟壺
中國,北京。口外撇,束頸,溜肩,壺身修長,平底。仿雄黃紋理,橙色和棕褐色的地上顯示出豐富的紅色斑塊。

來源:1993年11月21日巴黎Jutheau拍賣行 lot 128;法國私人收藏,據説購於上述拍賣(發票遺失);在同一家族保存至今。
品相:品相極好,有輕微磨損和製造瑕疵,如口部不對稱、小缺口和口部微小的磕損。

壺蓋:木質
重量:46.6 克
尺寸:高 (含蓋)86 毫米,頸部直徑14 毫米及壺口直徑7 毫米

專家注釋:請注意不對稱的壺口,這清楚地證明了整個瓶身是被吹成一個形狀,後來才拋光,表明這個鼻烟壺的年代較早。細長的、略微傾斜的形狀進一步證實了這一點。

仿雄黃料器被認為是康熙時期在御用料器作坊開發的,當時生產是在 Kilian Stumpf 和他的傳教士同胞的領導下進行的。他們於 1696 年為皇帝建立了玻璃廠。仿雄黃的料器主要在北京御用玻璃廠製作,仿雄黃料器鼻烟壺在十八世紀大量製造,其中很大一部分顯然是作為禮品分發的。
