~ A Chinese Celadon Jade Inscribed “Luohan” Boulder, Qianlong, carved with Ańgaja in a grotto, seated cross-legged in loose flowing robes, his left hand holding a sutra and walking stick, the right counting prayer beads, flanked by the Imperial eulogy and seal marks 20cm highWith original receipt from Trollope & Sons (London) Ltd, West Halkin Street, London dated 25 November 1955 for £85, as well as a transcription of the eulogy The inscription can be translated as “Wearing a hundred-patch robe and leaning on a proper bamboo staff, his Vedic ritual texts in a bookcase, he stares at his akshamalika straight across his chest. What he has remembered is not nothing, although there are no words for it.”The iconography of this depiction of Ańgaja is derived from the portrait series of the sixteen Luohans painted in 891 by the Tang dynasty painter-poet-monk, Guanxiu for the Shengyinsi or 'Temple of Sage Reason'; the temple was later destroyed during the Taiping Rebellion. In this series the artist depicted the enlightened disciples with grotesque bodies, hunched backs, bushy eyebrows, and pronounced foreheads, as they had allegedly appeared to him in a dream.In 1757, the Qianlong Emperor visited the Shengyin Temple during his Southern inspection tour to study these images of the Luohan as an act of religious devotion. He recorded that, having seen the masterpieces, he was inspired to personally write a eulogy comprising two colophons for each painting. The Emperor believed the paintings to be the same set that had been recorded in the Xuanhe Huapu [The Xuande catalogue of paintings], the inventory of the Song dynasty emperor Huizong.Subsequently, Qianlong commanded the palace painting master, Ding Guanpeng (act.1708-ca.1771) to copy the paintings and to include new inscriptions of the eulogies. Ding’s copies are now in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei and were widely copied in various media.In 1764, the abbot at Shengyin Temple, Master Mingshui, instructed local stone engravers to copy Guanxiu’s paintings and the Emperor’s colophons and seals. The sixteen engraved stone panels were installed on the sixteen sides of the Miaoxiang Pagoda in Hangzhou. Almost immediately rubbings of the panels were being produced. Knowing the Emperor’s fondness for them, in 1778, the military governor of Shandong province, Guotai (d.ca.1782), presented the Qianlong Emperor with a magnificent zitan folding screen set with black lacquer panels inlaid with white jade in imitation of the rubbings.A similar jade boulder, depicting the second Luohan, Kanakavasta, was recorded in the collection of the Wou Lien-Pai Museum as published in Rose Kerr et al., Chinese Antiquities from the Wou Kiuan Collection, Surrey, 2011, pl. 177 (fig. 2).Another example depicting Kanaka is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession number 02.18.640 and a further example as Cudapanthaka is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei.A sixteen-fold screen with inlaid jade plaques portraying the sixteen luohans, including a depiction of Angaja derived from the same source as the present jade, dated to the forty-second year of the Qianlong reign (1777) is in the Palace Museum, Beijing, exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art (22 June 2012 - 14 October 2012), and illustrated in A Lofty Retreat from the Red Dust: The Secret Garden of Emperor Qianlong, Hong Kong, 2012, pp.216-233, no.53.A Qianlong Imperial jade screen with the same image of Ańgaja and inscribed with the same script and seals as the present examples was offered by Bonhams Hong Kong, 24 November 2012, lot 307 and Christie’s Hong Kong, 29 November 2022, lot 3049.Please note that there will be no internet bidding on this lot.

A WHITE JADE WITH RUSSET SKIN ‘MONKEYS’ SNUFF BOTTLE, CHINA, 1750-1850 1750-1850年白玉留皮鼻煙壺 Please note this Lot is to be sold at No Reserve. 本拍品不設底價Exhibited: The Norton Museum of Art, Palm Beach, USA. The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, USA.Of rounded rectangular form, supported on a wide oval foot and surmounted by a short cylindrical neck, one side of the bottle with a beveled surface, cleverly revealing a distinct layer of russet skin inside the stone. One narrow side is finely carved in low relief with monkeys climbing on rocks issuing a lingzhi sprig. The translucent stone of a soft white tone with a rich russet skin on one side.Provenance: The Joan and Ted Dorf Collection, no. 180. Joan and Ted Dorf (1926-2020) were collectors of snuff bottles for over fifty years, in a lifelong passion that paralleled the deep love they felt for each other during their 67 years of marriage. Their enthusiasm eventually spilled over into collecting scholarly Chinese works of art as well. Ted served as a director on the board of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society (ICSBS) between 2006 and 2012, and was also its vice president from 2009 to 2011. Despite a flourishing career in radio broadcasting, he always found time for collecting and co-chaired ICSBS conventions in Washington, D.C., and Palm Beach, Florida. The Joan and Ted Dorf Collection has been exhibited at the Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, and most recently at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.Condition: Superb condition with minor wear and few microscopic nicks. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.Stopper: Organic materialWeight: 82.7 gDimensions: Height including stopper 73 mm. Diameter neck 22 mm and mouth 7 mm. This bottle is one of a distinctive group dated to the mid-Qing period that is made of pure white nephrite using the natural russet-brown skin of the pebble as part of the decoration. The raw material used for the present bottle was cut from a fairly large boulder or pebble, indicated by the slight curving of the russet skin which is imposed by the natural shape of the boulder. The powerful abstract design that results from the combination of a pure white pebble with its own russet skin remains popular among connoisseurs.The present bottle, however, is an extremely rare example because one of the narrow sides is delightfully carved with two monkeys clinging to rocks. Often the white part of the jade pebble is left completely uncarved, with only the russet skin building the decoration.Literature comparison: See three closely related bottles, a pair from the collection of Edith Griswold, illustrated in L.S. Perry, Chinese Snuff Bottles. The Adventures & Studies of a Collector, p. 106, nos. 88-89, and another in The Au Hang Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles, p. 78, no. 98.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Christie’s New York, 15-16 September 2011, lot 1176 Price: USD 25,000 or approx.

(2)These mountains, boldly and irregularly carved with rocky paths, waterfall, and vegetation, are often inhabited by tiny figures, exemplifying the concept of 'landscape in miniature.' Compact and upright domed boulders depicting scholars or immortals ascending a path were popular during the Qianlong period, as they symbolized the ascending career of the scholar-literati within the civil service. Boulder mountains testify to the jade carvers' tremendous skills and reflect their reverence for the natural qualities of the stone. They were able to carve elaborate and lively tableaus within the confines of the boulder, keeping the silhouette intact while artistically manipulating the natural 'imperfections' of the stone to enhance the design.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie’s New York, 23 March 2018, lot 989 Price: USD 5,625 or approx.
