The universal gem standard for turquoise is that the more brilliant the sky-blue color, the more valuable the stone, but in China, it is clear that both green and blue veined material was equally valued. The evidence lies in snuff bottles made from other materials that evoke turquoise. Of the entire turquoise range of Qing glass snuff bottles, many more are of a green tint than a sky-blue one. Porcelain imitations of the material are even more informative. Both the green and blue varieties were regularly copied during the mid-Qing period. One of the finest imitation turquoise bottles is in the Ault Collection (Kleiner 1990, no. 131). It probably dates from the late eighteenth century and is of a distinctly green color. In the same publication, a magnificent and unique porcelain bottle made for the Master of the Xie Bamboos, whose hall name appears on other known porcelains of the first half of the nineteenth century, simulates a turquoise-matrix bottle with panels of calligraphy in iron-red on white. Not only is the color unambiguously green, it is as riddled with black matrix markings as any of the real material carved into bottles.

Expert’s note: Whatever the color of the material may have meant, this example is intriguingly marked with some well-figured matrix, unusual speckling across both faces of the bottle, and intriguing darker staining, possibly partly due to handling but too well defined to stem purely from patination. This is one of the star turquoise bottles known, of lovely color and material. It is also superbly formed, with matching perfection of finish. Therefore, this bottle can be firmly dated to the 18th century.

十八世紀綠松石紋理鼻煙壺
鼻煙壺呈扁平狀,掏膛良好,圓柱體頸部,削肩,橢圓形圈足。寶石呈斑駁的綠松石色,局部帶有淡黃色調,兩側有深藍色紋理。

來源:紐約著名鼻煙壺收藏。
品相:狀況極好,有磨損和一些風化。石料上有天然裂紋,有些紋理隨著時間的推移可能會發展成細小裂縫。邊緣周圍有非常小的刻痕。

壺蓋:嵌藍寶石,可能來自同期
重量:83.9 克
尺寸:含壺蓋高68 毫米,頸部直徑19.5 毫米,壺口直徑6毫米

綠松石通常情況下天藍色越鮮豔,石料的價值就越高。但在中國,綠色和藍色脈紋的材料顯然具有同等價值,比如綠松石紋理的鼻煙壺。在清代料器鼻煙壺的綠松石系列中,綠色色調多於天藍色。

專家注釋:無論材料的顏色意味著什麼,這個拍品上都有一些有趣的紋理,瓶子兩面不尋常的斑點,以及有趣的深色色塊。這是眾所周知的綠松石瓶之一,造型精美,表面處理完美。 因此,這見鼻煙壺年代可以確定為18世紀。
