He was a famous judge of horses and invented equine physiognomy. The motif of Bo Le judging horses eventually became a metaphor for the recruitment of able government officials. Zhao Mengfu (1254-1322), also known as Zhao Zi Ang, was a Chinese painter of the Yuan dynasty who excelled in Chinese painting, calligraphy, poetry, and music. He was particularly famous for his paintings of horses, which he used as a symbolic plea for the proper use of scholarly talent by the new Mongol administration. Kublai Khan personally recruited him for high state services in 1286. During the reign of Emperor Buyantu Khan, he was among the most influential figures at court. As an eleventh-generation descendant of Emperor Taizu, Zhao was also a Song prince by birth.Literature comparison: Compare a related painting of a groom with horse, by Zhao Mengfu, 1296-1359, in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1988.135.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Bonhams London, 9 November 2017, lot 83Price: GBP 27,500 or approx.

AN ETCHED AND ENAMELED GLASS 'WINTER LANDSCAPE' SNUFF BOTTLE, BY DAUM NANCY, EARLY 20TH CENTURYOpinion: The present lot, with its classic round form and short everted neck, is without a doubt a snuff bottle, as opposed to the more common perfume bottles which are always larger in size, typically varying between 12 and 18 cm. This means that the present lot was specifically designed as an export article for the Chinese market and thus must be considered extremely rare.France, circa 1910. Of flattened globular form, superbly painted in bright enamels to depict a winter landscape with bare trees and bushes against a reddish-orange ground suggestive of the evening sky. The swirled opaque glass with orange and yellow streaks, edged, cut, and finely polished. The base with an enameled mark Daum Nancy with the cross of Lorraine.Provenance: From the private collection of Tuyet Nguyet and Stephen Markbreiter. The base inscribed 'Daum & Nancy'.

Arts of Asia's first regular edition appeared in 1971. In the magazine, Nguyet sought to combine authoritative content from major experts with detailed coverage of the Asian art market. Tuyet Nguyet was an early member of The International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, attending her first convention in 1973, and was later elected as an honorary member.

They developed the Art Nouveau style for which they received the 'Grand Prix' medal at the world exhibition in 1900. Daum glass works are known for their motifs of scenery and nature with mostly plants or flowers. Daum formed the Ecole de Nancy (Nancy School) together with other glass and furniture factories operating in the French city of Nancy. Acid etching was often combined with carving, enameling, and engraving on a single piece of glass to produce creative glass masterpieces.
