Description

AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS ROCK CRYSTAL SNUFF BOTTLETransparent rock crystal, smooth polish to surface and inside (!) of the bottle. China, 1760-1860Carved with an impressive hollowing in consummate harmony with a perfectly balanced pear form, raised mock ring handles on the shoulders, with its flawless, otherwise undecorated stone of paper-thin quality encapsulating the essence of purity.Masterly plain crystal bottles from the mid-Qing period appear in a number of published collections and always benefit from a perfectly matching stopper and a lovely old spoon of the right length, both of which are present in this lot. The spoon, however, needs a bit more attention in this case, because it is delicately carved of a single (!) piece of organic material, depicting an extended arm with three bracelets and an open hand, designed to pick up the snuff.Shape: Flattened pearHollowing: ExcellentMouth, neck and lip: Sprawling neck, flat top, small cylindric mouth, slanted inner and outer lipsBase: Oval, with raised flat foot rim, slantedStopper: Pink quartz with carved old spoon, on onyx plateletHeight of the bottle with stopper: 6.4 cm.Width of the mouth: 6 mm.Width of the neck: 15 mm.Condition: Excellent, with two tiny, almost invisible nibbles to foot rim, and one smoothened imperfection in the material also on the foot rimProvenance: American private collection, inscribed collector number to topLiterature comparison: The Guo'an Collection.
