A rare Chinese Zitan wood libation cup, Qing Dynasty, 17th/18th century, of typical form, the magnolia flower cup of deep oval form and carved in high relief and undercut around the sides and base with gnarled branches of blossoming magnolia and prunus flowers, 7.5cm high, 10.5cm wide For a similar example refer: Christies 26th June, 2014, lot 59 New York Private Collection. Imperial Zitan: Available was only to the master craftsmen employed in the Imperial Palace Workshop. Historically, zitan was primarily grown in southern India and southeast Asia, with a very small quantity known from the southern provinces of present-day Guangxi, Guangdong and Jiangxi in China. It was appreciated for its  jade-like silky texture, fine and dense grain, and deep lustre, making it the favoured timber of the Qing court with no expense spared in acquiring it. From Imperial records we know that during Qianlong’s reign in particular, the Palace Workshop used over 290,000 kgs of zitan, most of which had to be imported from overseas due to its almost complete extinction in China. The wood’s long growth period, limited availability and high demand primarily from the Imperial court, led to its excessive felling and eventual disappearance by the early 18th century.  The libation cup was made both for ornate display, often with a stand, but primarily as a communal drinking vessel during important ceremony or for consumption of 'health potions'. They have been part of popular culture in China for over 1000 years and the designs are often seen in bronze, rhinoceros horn or exotic woods such as Zitan.
