拍品描述
A WHITE JADE 'BUDDHIST LION' SNUFF BOTTLE, 1750-1850China. Well hollowed, of compressed globular form and tapering towards the flat oval foot, finely carved in low relief to the wide sides with a crouching Buddhist lion, one turning the head backwards, and the other looking ahead. The translucent stone is of a white color with cloudy white inclusions few minute brown specks.Provenance: The Gerry P. Mack Collection, thence by descent to his daughter Beverly Hall Billings and her husband David Billings, Nantucket, Massachusetts. Gerry P. Mack (1911-1992) was an important collector of Chinese snuff bottles. According to Robert Kleiner's foreword to the catalog of the Christie's sale of The Gerry P. Mack Collection, he ''was one of the great snuff bottle collectors of the twentieth century. The bottles for which Gerry had a weakness have stood the test of time and more remarkably, of our increased knowledge of the subject. Gerry's achievement was to align on bottles which he liked and which are still highly sought after and in many cases among the finest of their type''. David Billings is a philanthropist and noted scholar and collector of Chinese art for over fifty years. His wife and creative partner, Beverly Hall Billings, is the daughter of Gerry P. Mack. Together they maintain what Steven Chait has called 'Nantucket's best kept secret'. Their collection is meticulously acquired from the best dealers and auction houses like JJ Lally, Roger Keverne, Christie's, and Spink, among others. The Billings generously share their collection through their private museum, open to the public, and through global exhibitions and publications. Most recently, they collaborated with the Nantucket Historical Association to present their collection in the exhibition Asian Treasures from The Billings Collection.
