A ‘REALGAR’ GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE, QING DYNASTYChina, 18th to early 19th century. Of high-shouldered tapering form, the body with horizontal striations of brilliant orange and pale olive-green with mottled splashes of red imitating the mineral realgar, carved on the narrow sides with a pair of lion mask and ring handles.Provenance: From an old private collection in New York, USA, and thence by descent within the family to the present owner.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and minuscule nibbles, the neck possibly minimally smoothened.Stopper: Quartz cabochon with a carved and stained spoonWeight: 48.3 gDimensions: Height including stopper 70 mm. Diameter neck 16 mm and mouth 9 mmThere is a wide range of glass, particularly popular with the snuff-bottle maker, which imitated realgar. Realgar is the least toxic of all arsenic compounds, but it tends to break down on long exposure to sunlight and eventually disintegrates into a fine powder. It is the fifth basic element to the Chinese and played an important role for the alchemist, for whom it symbolized longevity and immortality.The present bottle is superbly made, with excellent carving and integrity of form. The abstract markings suggest the heart of a blazing fire in which everything is transformed. This is particularly appropriate for the Daoist alchemist attempting to transform base metal into gold and limited existence into immortality as metaphors for the transformation of human consciousness.Literature comparison: For a realgar glass bottle still in the Imperial Collection, see Masterpieces of Snuff Bottles in the Palace Museum, Beijing, 1995, p. 82, no. 58. For a series of five realgar glass bottles of various types, in The Victoria and Albert Museum, in bequests from 1901-1936, see H. White, Snuff Bottles from China, London, 1992, pl. 63. For a discussion of bottles based on the substance realgar, see H. Moss, V. Graham and K. B.
