EUR 20,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing).-Collection of Barbu Kestenband, acquired from the above and thence by descent.Hugh Moss (b. 1943) is an author, dealer, artist, lifelong collector, and enthusiast of Chinese art, and the foremost authority on Chinese snuff bottles.Dr. Joan Wasserman is a professor at the Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing, with extensive experience in nursing research and health policy. She previously served as the Associate Dean for Research at GSN and was the Director of the Office of Extramural Research Administration at the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD).Robert Hall is one of the leading dealers of Chinese Snuff Bottles. He has played a vital role in the formation of many of the world's great collections, including the Mary and George Bloch Collection. His wide knowledge of the subject has enabled him to produce numerous publications and articles, such as his series Chinese Snuff Bottles I to XVI (1987-2011).George Bloch (1920-2009) was born in Vienna into a distinguished Austrian industrialist family. He received his education in England, where he developed a fondness for visiting the British Museum. Following Nazi Germany's annexation of Austria in the late 1930s, his family relocated to Shanghai. In later years, he established a highly successful business in Hong Kong, specializing in the manufacturing of housewares and computer components, as well as the import and distribution of timepieces. In 1969 he married Mary, who was born in Tianjin, the daughter of White Russian emigres. It was a meeting of minds: George had already formed a major collection of stamps and Mary, who was fluent in Mandarin Chinese, had been surrounded by Chinese culture all her life. Best known for their enthusiastic pursuit of Chinese snuff bottles, their collection has been extensively published and exhibited at museums in both Hong Kong and London.Barbu Kestenband (1938-2020) was a professor in mathematics at the New York Institute of Technology, who published several articles in mathematical journals in the 1980s and 1990s.Stopper: Amethyst with garnet finial on a vinyl collarWeight: 51.4 gDimensions: Height including stopper 78 mm. Diameter neck 19 mm and mouth 7 mm.According to Hugh M. Moss, an expert on snuff bottles from the Ye family, the present bottle may be painted by Ye Zhongshan himself or by his elder son Ye Xiaofeng. Ye Bengqi, the younger son of Ye Zhongsan, explained in an interview with Moss, that this style was also a specialty of his elder brother Ye Xiaofeng, and that he might have painted a bottle such as this. Yet, Moss notes that ''whoever painted it, it is one of the great masterpieces from the family and stands as one of the most impressive bottles ever produced by any of them, including the early Ye Zhongsan.''The style is entirely borrowed from Zhou Leyuan, as was so much of Ye's landscape style, and the debt is clear to see. Here we have the same lofty view from a rocky promontory with a mature pine and peonies growing alongside lingzhi, which allows us to look down upon a distant landscape as is often the case in Zhou's works.Ye has painted eight cranes, an unusual number. It may be that eight ('ba') cranes ('he') is a rebus for the term 'bahe', which signifies the concept of peace and harmony throughout the country. 'He' means harmony, and 'ba' stands for bafang, or eight directions, the eight points of the compass.Painting numerous birds pushed Ye to new levels of inventiveness, resulting in a spectacular composition. The cranes, depicted in striking opaque white with black and red detailing, are arranged around the bottle with the elegance of calligraphy, each both powerful and harmoniously balanced. Their opaque coloring contrasts brilliantly with the translucent washes, enhancing the painting's success and fresh appeal. The bottle remains in pristine studio condition, adding to its allure, as the delicate white pigment often suffers damage in similar works.For more information on Ye Zhongsan and the Apricot Grove studio, see Hugh Moss, 'The Apricot Grove Studio,' Journal, ICSBS, Spring 1982, p.4-5, and 9-48.
