AN IMPERIAL 'REALGAR' GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE, ATTRIBUTED TO THE PALACE WORKSHOPS, QIANLONG MARK AND PERIODChina, Beijing, 1736-1795. Swirled together of brilliant fiery orange and yellow-ochre opaque glass to resemble the realgar mineral, the tall cylindrical body with a tapered foot with flat base and rounded shoulder surmounted by a tall neck with a wide mouth. The base wheel-cut with a four-character mark Qianlong nianzhi and of the period. Provenance: From a noted private collection in Bavaria, Germany. Condition: Excellent condition with only minor old wear and expected manufacturing irregularities.Stopper: Jadeite Weight: 94.5 g Dimensions: Height including stopper 91 mm. Diameter neck 16 mm and mouth 9 mm. The naturalistic pattern achieved on realgar glass makes vessels of this type attractive and unique. Hugh Moss and Gerard Tsang in Arts from the Scholar's Studio, op. cit., p. 126, note that the “swirling patterns visible at the surface of this vessel are full of possibilities for the imaginative mind. It may read as a landscape, drifting incense smoke or a variety of strange living creatures, but it also represents the endlessly changing patterns of energy from which all phenomena emanate in the Chinese view, particularly expressed by Daoism. To the Daoist scholar it would be a work of art of subtle complexity and endless fascination, to be enjoyed like incense smoke as a meditative aid."Realgar (xiong huang), found in the southern provinces of China, was believed to contain the essence of gold and, possibly for this reason, became a source of fascination despite its poisonous qualities. It is believed that it was mixed in drugs used by Daoists in their quest for the elixir of immortality. It is the Daoist alchemy that made realgar popular to the extent that despite the material's highly toxic nature and its soft crumbly texture, which does not lend itself to the artisans' tools without great difficulties, realgar was used for the carving of Daoist figures. For example, a realgar sculpture of the Immortal He Xian Gu, in the British Museum, London, is illustrated in R. Soame Jenyns, Chinese Art, The Minor Arts, II, London, 1965, pl. 200.The attractiveness of realgar inspired copies to be made in glass such as the present snuff bottle. Richard John Lynn in 'Technical aspects and Connoisseurship of Snuff Bottles: Late Traditional Chinese Sources', JICSBS, Summer, 1995, p. 8, mentions Zhou Jixu, a late Qing connoisseur, who believed that realgar glass was among the earliest types of glass made at the Qing Imperial Glassworks. For this reason, the dating of the present snuff bottle can probably be narrowed to c. 1740-1750.Literature comparison:For further discussion on 'realgar' glass, see Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles. The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 5, Glass, where its likely Imperial origins are discussed.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Galerie Zacke, Vienna, 5 March 2021, lot 15 Price: EUR 9,480 or approx.
