Lot details

Published: Robert Kleiner, 'The Tuyet Nguyet Collection of Snuff Bottles and Saucers', Arts of Asia, November-December 1998, pp. 53, no. 21.

China. Of flattened rectangular form with rounded edges, the long sides each with a raised oval panel neatly incised with a poetic inscription, the short sides each with a raised oblong panel.

Expert’s note: Many monochrome glass snuff bottles were incised with poems and inscriptions, adding to their attraction for the literati class during the Qing dynasty. This is a good example, the raised panels providing an ideal platform for the incision work, which is of spectacular quality and shows fine gilding as well.

Inscriptions: With a poem by Li Yifu, Tang Dynasty “She (the goddess of the Luo river) takes the moon as her fan and the clouds as her dress. She dances and looks at her image mirrored by the river.”

Provenance: From the private collection of Tuyet Nguyet and Stephen Markbreiter. Tuyet Nguyet was the founder and chief editor of Arts of Asia. She married Stephen Markbreiter, an English architect, in 1959 and moved to Hong Kong to work as a journalist. Arts of Asia’s first regular edition appeared in 1971. In the magazine, Nguyet sought to combine authoritative content from major experts with detailed coverage of the Asian art market. Tuyet Nguyet was an early member of The International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, attending her first convention in 1973, and was later elected as an honorary member.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear, few light surface scratches.

Stopper: Glass in imitation of jadeite
Weight: 31.0 g
