拍品描述 翻译
China. Well hollowed, the rectangular body with sloped shoulders supported on an oval foot and rising to a cylindrical neck with flat mouth, deeply carved on one side through the gray-white and gray layers to depict a qilin on clouds, its mouth emanating further scrolling clouds that support a book, its scales finely incised. The reverse neatly carved in low relief with a phoenix perched on one leg in the manner of a crane, amid rockwork and bamboo.In Chinese tradition, a qilin emitting or presenting a book is a powerful auspicious symbol linked to wisdom, virtue, and the birth of exceptional talent—especially scholars and future officials.Provenance: The private collection of Professor J. Gilbert & Cora McAllister, no. 155 (label to base), acquired in August 1974 (according to copies of the collectors' handwritten notes accompanying this lot), and thence by descent in the family. Dr. J. Gilbert McAllister (1904-1993) was Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at the University of Texas, where he built a distinguished career as a cultural anthropologist, archaeologist, and academic leader. In the early 1930s, McAllister and his wife Cora McAllister spent a pivotal year living among the Kiowa-Apache people in Oklahoma, conducting immersive fieldwork that shaped his scholarly outlook. Returning to the University of Texas in the mid-1930s, McAllister became chair of the department and directed a major archaeological program, earning wide respect as both an administrator and an exceptional teacher affectionately known as 'Dr. Mac'. He taught for more than three decades until his retirement in 1968. Together, Gilbert and Cora assembled a wide-ranging collection of Asian art and antiquities, reflecting their shared passion for the cultures and material histories of China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and minute nibbles to the mouth. The stone with few natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.Stopper: Jadeite with metal mount and bronze spoonWeight: 82.2 gDimensions: Height including stopper 74 mm. Diameter neck 16 mm and mouth 6 mm.The present bottle is a striking example of the classic Suzhou carvings belonging to the multiple-plane cameo group, where white grounds as seen on this snuff bottle are exceedingly rare. Here the use of three distinct planes of pale and dark gray on a creamy-white ground is quite skillful and under the extraordinary plastic control of the medium of a master jade-carver. The carver has not only utilized the varying colors of the stone but also the natural fissures in the material which clearly existed before it was carved as is most obvious on the reverse carved in low relief.The clever use of multi-colored jade is a hallmark of the Suzhou workshops. The town of Suzhou, renowned for its classical gardens, winding canals, and elegant literati culture, emerged as one of China's leading artistic and intellectual centers. It attracted generations of painters, calligraphers, poets, and musicians, whose refined tastes deeply influenced local artistic production. Among the most celebrated expressions of this culture are intricately carved snuff bottles, often made from jade, showcasing a distinct style associated with the workshop of Zhiting, a famed jade carver active in the region.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 21 March 2000, lot 206 Price: USD 34,500 or approx.
