拍品描述 翻译
A GREEN AND BROWN CAMEO AGATE 'SQUIRRELS AND GRAPES' SNUFF BOTTLE, 1750-1850 Expert remark: Bicolor cameo agates displaying distinct green and dark brown layers simultaneously against a warm honey-colored ground are among the rarest naturally occurring agates selected for snuff bottle production. The exceptional combination of three contrasting colors allowed the lapidary to create an unusually sophisticated cameo carving with remarkable depth and visual complexity. China. Very well-hollowed, of compressed globular form standing on an oval footrim, with a subtly waisted neck and flat lip, one main side utilizing the dark brown and green inclusions in the pale honey-colored matrix, carved with two squirrels cavorting among leafy grape vines, further decorated with a fisherman in a sampan near one narrow side. Provenance: This bottle comes from a collection that originates from a highly distinguished Taiwanese family and was assembled primarily during the 1980s and 1990s. Many of the snuff bottles in the collection were acquired in Hong Kong, with the majority believed to have been purchased through Christie’s and Sotheby’s during this period. While original receipts were not retained, possibly due to the sheer size of the collection, it is likely that several of these bottles can be traced in Sotheby’s and Christie’s catalogues from the 1980s and 1990s. Condition : Very good condition with expected wear, natural imperfections including fissures, minute nicks to the shoulder, and a small loss to the snout. Stopper: Jadeite on a black vinyl collar Weight: 50.5 g Dimensions: Height including stopper 63 mm. Diameter neck 18 mm and mouth 8 mm. The depiction of a squirrel, or more correctly a tree shrew, climbing among leafy vines is often seen on snuff bottles. They are symbolic of fertility as they produce large litters. Though this is a more usual interpretation of this symbolism, other scholars have suggested that this motif is an expression of a wish for promotion to a higher rank of officialdom. Literature comparison: Compare a related chalcedony silhouette snuff bottle with grapes and squirrels, dated 1796-1851, 6.8 cm tall, illustrated in Jihu Jingshe, The Au Hang collection of Chinese snuff bottles, Ontario, Canada, 1993, p. 137, no. 181.
