A GILT SILVER SNUFF BOTTLE FROM THE QUEEN CONSORT OF SIAM, YUE HE MARKChina, 1870-1880. Finely incised with a central monogram within an oval reserve on a foliate ground. The concave base stamped with a two-character Yue He mark.Provenance: Sunanda Kumariratana (1860-1880). From the private collection of Dr. Mary Kaufman, New York, USA. Thence by descent within the same family. Dr. Kaufman (1927-2013) was a well known NYC snuff bottle collector. Old collector’s label to base, ‘436’. Kumariratana was the Queen Consort of Siam. She and her daughter drowned when a steamboat collided with their ship on the way to the Royal Summer Palace. There is an often-repeated myth that the many witnesses to the accident did not dare to touch the queen, a capital offense, not even to save her life. However, this was not the case, as the King's diary shows that boatmen dived into the water, pulled the queen and her daughter from the entangling curtains, and carried them to another boat, where attendants worked in vain to resuscitate them.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, occasional light scratches, few small dents, and minuscule nicks here and there. The spoon is lost.Stopper: CoralWeight: 21.2 gDimensions: Height including stopper 46 mm. Diameter neck 9 mm and mouth 6 mmSilver items bearing Yue He or Tan Yue He marks are of outstanding quality. The Chinese firm was commissioned by members of the Thai Royal family to produce a variety of items that can be dated to the 1870s and 1880s. The present snuff bottle was made for Queen Sunanda Kumariratana (1860-1880), queen consort of Siam, as it is marked with her personal insignia.Literature comparison: Paul Bromberg, Thai Silver and Nielloware, Rover Books 2018.來自暹羅皇后的鎏金銀鼻烟壺,粵和款中國,1870-1880年。在卷葉紋地上橢圓形開光。 内凹底足上可見“粵和”二字。來源:Sunanda Kumariratana (1860-1880);美國紐約Mary Kaufman博士私人收藏,之後傳承於同一家族。Kaufman博士(1927-2013)是一位紐約知名鼻烟壺收藏家。 老收藏家的標籤“ 436”。品相:狀況極佳,有輕微磨損,偶有輕微划痕,少量小凹痕以及局部的微小刻痕。小壺匙丟失。 壺蓋:珊瑚 重量:21.2 克尺寸:總高46 毫米;頸部直徑9 毫米;嘴部直徑6 毫米 帶有“粵和”或“譚粵和”印記的銀製品質量卓越。這家中國公司受到泰國皇室成員的熱烈追捧,生產了各種可以追溯到1870和1880年代的物品。 目前的鼻煙壺是為暹羅Sunanda Kumariratana皇后(1860-1880)製作的,上面印有她的個人徽章。

(2)Expert’s note: While there is great variation within the Mon-Dvaravati tradition, the sensitivity paid to the modeling of the fine facial features in the present lot is in keeping with the period’s focus on the purity and fluidity of form. As expressed by Jean Boisselier in The Heritage of Thai Sculpture, 1975, page 73, “The school of Dvaravati may stand alongside the great Buddhist artistic traditions of India, so enduring were its innovations and so persuasive its influence on most of the art of Southeast Asia.”Literature comparison: Compare to an attendant figure in a Buddhist plaque illustrated in Hiram W. Woodward, The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand: The Alexander B. Griswold Collection at The Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, 1997, p. 51, fig. 44.

Some minor fatigue fractures. Few tiny dents and nicks here and there. Some losses.Weight: 27 kgDimensions: Height 46 cmMahakatyayana (or Katyayana) was a disciple of Gautama Buddha, listed among one of the ten principal disciples and renowned for his ability to elaborate on the Shakyamuni's terse instructions. His fat appearance is almost certainly co-opted from Chinese images of Budai. However, according to Thai folklore, Mahakatyayana (Thai: Sangkajai) was extremely sought after for his looks, so he transformed himself into a fat monk to avoid distraction from the arhat path. Greatly revered in Thailand, a similar, monumental sculpture of Mahakatyayana is built in Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nok, in Samut Prakan province (see fig. 1).Auction result comparison: Compare with a related but slightly larger copper alloy figure of Mahakatyayana (Himalayan Art Resources item no. 61649) at Bonhams Hong Kong in The Presencer Collection of Buddhist Art on 2 October 2018, lot 138, bought-in at an estimate of HKD 160,000-240,000.
