拍品描述
A CAMEO AGATE 'LIU HAI' SNUFF BOTTLE, 19TH CENTURYChina. Well hollowed, of rounded square form, finely carved in relief utilizing the darker markings to depict Liu Hai balancing on the three-legged toad and holding a string of cash, the reverse carved and incised in low relief with lingzhi fungi issuing from rockwork and a bat in flight. The translucent stone is of a fine honey-brown color with dark brown areas and caramel striations.Provenance: A private collection in Florida, United States. The Cloud Contemplation Studio Collection, United States, acquired from the above. Two labels to the base, one inscribed 'K114' and the other printed '55'. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and little nibbling to the base.Stopper: pale green hardstone stopper on a green glass plateletWeight: 68.4 gDimensions: Height 65 mm, Diameter neck 20 mm and mouth 7 mmThe story of Liu Hai is frequently related as 'Liu Hai playing with the Golden Toad'. However, there is a hidden meaning here: The Chinese word for toad is chanchu, and sometimes only the first character, chan, is spoken. In some Chinese dialects, the character chan has a pronunciation very similar to qian which means 'coin'. Therefore, a storyteller reciting 'Liu Hai playing with the Golden Toad' could also be heard by listeners as 'Liu Hai playing with the gold coins'.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 3 December 2015, lot 655Price: HKD 43,750 or approx.
