PROPERTIES FROM A NOTED COLLECTION OF JADES AND SNUFFBOTTLES *A WHITE JADE ‘PLUM FLOWER’ SNUFF BOTTLE CHINA, QING DYNASTY Carved out of a single piece of pale celadon jade. The body is of elongated compressed form, with round shoulders, two carved ‘beast’ handles imitating loose rings, a waisted and short cylindrical neck with a slightly everted rim. The skilful carver used the vein in the stone to pick out the design. The inner part is very well hollowed. Offered at auction together with a stopper. H (stopper excluded): 6,5 cm Weight: 82,4 grams Note: The five petals of the plum blossom symbolize the ‘five blessings’ (wufu - 五福). Also known as the ‘five happinesses’, these five blessings refer to longevity (寿), wealth (富), health and composure (康宁), virtue (修好德), and the desire to die a natural death in old age (考终命).

In relation to Condition Reports, whilst we make certain observations on the lot, which are intended to be as helpful as possible, references in the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. The condition report is an expression of opinion only and must not be treated as a statement of fact. Measurements and weight are approximate and the potential bidder may re-ask it to be checked when asking for a condition report.
