? A RHINOCEROS HORN ‘DRAGON AND SPIDER’ LIBATION CUP, QING DYNASTY, 17TH-18TH CENTURY

Expert’s note
This libation cup is distinguished by its exceptional colors. It is above all in natural sunlight that its full beauty reveals itself to the viewer. As there was no artificial light in the 17th and 18th centuries, such objects were conceived to be experienced exclusively in daylight. When sunlight moves across the surface over the course of the day and begins to pass gently through the material, the cup unfolds a remarkable spectrum of tonal nuances. On a literati’s table, this shifting interplay of light and substance must have created a quietly elevating experience. We invite you to request our dedicated natural-light video, created specifically to capture this effect.

Finely carved in the form of an open camellia blossom, the exterior is enveloped by luxuriant grapevine bearing broad leaves and gnarled branches, some extending over the rim into the interior together with a small cluster of grapes. The handle is exquisitely carved in openwork as a pair of entwined branches, along which a youthful Chilong climbs over the rim and peers into the vessel towards a small spider carved within.

Provenance: Belgian trade. By repute acquired from a noted private estate in Brussels.
Condition: Superb condition with minor wear and few microscopic nibbles. Exceptionally well-preserved and displaying a superb, naturally grown, dark honey-brown patina.

Weight: 347.6 g
Dimensions: Height 8.8 cm, Length 18.5 cm

Sometimes symbolic of autumn, grapes and grapevines also represent abundance, both in the sense of material wealth and multiple children. Often presented as gifts at court, cups made of rhinoceros horn were used for drinking wine in part because the horn was thought to enhance the wine’s fragrance.
