A CELADON JADE ‘INTEGRAL DISH’ SNUFF BOTTLE, QING DYNASTYChina, 18th century. Carved with a circular concave panel serving as a snuff dish to either side, the semitranslucent stone of a deep celadon tone with cloudy white inclusions and brown shadings, creating dramatic silhouette compositions in and around the panels. Of flattened ovoid form with a broad oval foot and a slightly spreading neck.Provenance: From a private collection in Los Angeles, California.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, small nibbles to foot and mouth, the stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks over time.Stopper: Mottled green jade cabochon with finely carved spoonWeight: 107.0 gDimensions: Height including stopper 68 mm. Diameter neck 12 mm and mouth 6 mmCircular panels framed by a raised border were a feature of early snuff bottle production, as we know from a Yongzheng-marked turquoise bottle in the Susan Ault Collection (Snuff Bottles of the Ch'ing Dynasty, p. 59, no. 38). The form is intriguing, particularly in light of the controversy over the evolution of the snuff dish. Both sides are distinctly concave and deliberately dished, and there seems no decorative reason for such a feature. Their creation would have required additional manipulation by the lapidary, with no discernible aesthetic advantage. In this case, at least, we may safely assume the intention of the maker to have been the provision of a bottle with integral, functional snuff dishes.Auction result comparison: Compare with a related glass snuff bottle at Bonhams Hong Kong in Fine Chinese Art on 28 November 2011, lot 68, sold for HKD 212,500.清代青玉雕鼻烟壺 中國,十八世紀。半透明青玉,一面雕刻著圓形微凹面,可作為煙碟。白色絮狀內含物和棕色紋理,煙碟周輪廓清晰。 扁平卵形,橢圓形足,頸部略微外撇。 來源:加利福尼亞私人收藏 品相:狀況極佳,略有磨損,邊緣有磕損,石料有天然裂紋,隨著時間的流逝,其中一些可能發展成細小的裂縫。 壺蓋:玉,小壺匙 重量:107.0 克 尺寸:含蓋總高68 毫米,頸部直徑12 毫米,嘴部直徑6 毫米 拍賣結果比較:一件相近鼻烟壺見香港邦翰思Fine Chinese Art 拍場,2011年11月28日 lot 68, 售價HKD 212,500.
