拍品描述
China. The bottle of flattened rectangular form with rounded shoulders, supported on an oval foot, finely carved to one side with an elderly scholar accompanied by his boy attendant below a gnarled pine tree, the reverse with a female immortal dressed in loose robes with wide sleeves, and framed by billowing ribbons. She is holding a fan in her raised right hand as she tries to catch a butterfly. The amber is of a spectacular honey-red color, both rich and elegant, with a clarity that is very hard to find on a bottle of this size!Provenance: Property from a distinguished Asian private collection. Bonhams London, 14 May 2018, lot 394. The Dick Hardy Collection, acquired from the above. Richard 'Dick' Hardy was a British collector of Chinese snuff bottles. He first moved to Hong Kong in 1970 to work for the British Government and soon discovered his passion for collecting, acquiring his first pieces at small antique shops around Hollywood Road, and subsequently frequenting the sales at Sotheby's and Christie's. He became friends with Michael Kaynes-Klitz, who founded a snuff bottle collector's society in Hong Kong which eventually became the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, and joined the Society after 1975. A part of Hardy's collection was published by Clare Lawrence for the 23rd Annual Convention of the Society in October 1991. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear, few tiny nicks here and there, the usual nibbling around the mouth, and natural fissures and inclusions.Stopper: Turquoise cabochon on a gilt metal platelet, carved spoon (Richard Hardy added this stopper)Weight: 39.1 gDimensions: Height including stopper 71 mm.
