The semi-translucent stone is of an almost pure white color with small scattered cloudy-white inclusions. Provenance: Major Harry Stanley (1910-1997), who in 1957 was recruited from the Royal Automobile Club in London to run the newly formed Hong Kong Tourist Association. Thence by descent in the same family. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and few minuscule nicks here and there. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into minuscule hairline cracks over time.Weight: 67.3 g (without the base) Dimensions: Length 6 cmWith a carved and fitted hardwood base, possibly from the period. (2) Peach trees have a sacred connotation in China and in ancient times the wood of the peach tree was used as a charm against evil. Thus, the branch of this jade serves both as a representation of the tree, and as a naturalistic feature connecting the two peaches. The peaches themselves are symbols of longevity, and the fact of there being two of them doubles the wish. The association of peaches with longevity arises from the Star God of Longevity Shou Lao, and is linked with the legend of the peaches which grew in the orchard of Xiwangmu, the Queen Mother of the West. These peaches took three thousand years to ripen, and conveyed immortality on anyone who ate them. Items in the form of peaches were a popular birthday gift in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Small items for the scholar's table in the form of a single peach or two peaches, or indeed two lychees - another auspicious fruit - were especially popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.

(2)Horse-head dagger hilts were first depicted in paintings of the Padshahnama (Chronicle of the King of the World), about 1635, a manuscript documenting the reign of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628-58). As horses were highly prized in Mughal culture, it is not surprising that horse-head daggers were the most popular subject for zoomorphic hilts for several centuries.Expert's note: While many of these hilts are carved from Jade, Aventurine was both a highly prized and extremely rare material at the time, and a hilt carved from this fine material must consequently be regarded as rare. Also note the distinct glimmer within the translucent stone, which makes this mineral unique.Auction result comparison: Compare a Mughal 'horse head' dagger hilt, also dated to the 18th century, at Sotheby's London in Art of the Islamic World on 19th October 2016, Lot 253, bought in at an estimate of GBP 18,000-25,000.懞兀兒風格馬頭匕首柄印度，十八世紀。手柄由淡青色砂金石精雕而成，馬頭形狀，耳朵朝後，鼻孔張開，嘴巴微微張開。 鬃毛細節生動，在脖子的一側。 來源：紐約私人收藏。 品相：狀況良好，有舊磨損和微小的劃痕。馬頭有幾條天然裂痕，其中一些隨著時間的推移已經發展成細小的裂縫。包漿自然生長，細膩光潤。 重量：208克 尺寸：高13 厘米，寬7 厘米 帶首字母"A"的裝盒，鑲嵌精美雕刻的白玉，可追溯至 20 世紀上半葉。(2) 專家注釋：雖然此類劍柄中有許多是翡翠雕刻而成，但砂金石在當時既是一種極為珍貴又極為稀有的材料，因此用這種優質材料雕刻而成的劍柄非常稀有。另外，注意半透明砂金石內的獨特微光，這使得這種石料獨一無二。 拍賣結果比較: 比較一件十八世紀懞兀兒馬頭匕首柄，十八世紀，見倫敦蘇富比Art of the Islamic World 2016年10月19日 Lot 253, 估價GBP 18,000-25,000。

The semi-translucent icy white stone with vivid emerald-green inclusions, creating the legendary 'pine trees in the snow' effect.Provenance: From a UK private collection, acquired from Robert Kleiner & Co. Ltd., London. A copy of the original invoice dated 20 November 2000 and confirming the dating and description above accompanies this lot. Robert Kleiner (1948-2014) was an important expert on and dealer of Chinese snuff bottles, beginning his long career at Sotheby's Chinese Art department in London. Along with Hugh Moss and Bob Hall, Robert Kleiner became a key advisor to the Mary and George Bloch collection, and it was Robert who wrote and produced the very first catalog of their bottles. Condition: Excellent condition with only minor wear and tiny nibbles to neck. With a fine, unctuous feel overall.The Chinese have traditionally taken a subjective and often poetic approach to the appreciation of art, including towards the materials with which they work. The name given to jadeite is feicui and refers to the brilliance of a kingfisher's plumage. Jadeite, itself, however, does not appear in exactly the colors of the feathers or, indeed, with their iridescence. The type of jadeite shown in the present example is known as 'pine trees in the snow' since the markings resemble the idea of a pine tree-filled snowy landscape. Stopper: Green glass and carved spoon Weight: 86.7 g Dimensions: Height including stopper 65 mm. Diameter neck 18 mm and mouth 6 mm.
