拍品描述
China. Naturalistically carved as a hollowed peach borne on a gnarled leafy stalk, the other side pierced with a small hole for use as a dropper, the dark-brown markings of the stone skillfully picked out to depict a monkey and bird, the translucent stone of a fine and even buff tone.Provenance: Zhenjiang Antique Shop, Jiangsu province, China (label to base). A private collection in Australia, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear.Weight: 45.8 g Dimensions: Length 5.8 cmWith a padded box. (2)Expert's note: The current lot is remarkable for the inspired and masterly incorporation of the inclusions, which is particularly evident when viewing the small animals around the mouth of the vessel at a magnification of 400. The author's personal favorite are the dendritic wings of the bat, which are truly exquisite. Such artistry and superior craftsmanship are the hallmarks of the Suzhou school.The homophone for monkey, hou, one of the twelve zodiac animals, is 'nobleman' or 'high official' as well as 'descendants'. The monkey therefore represents the wish for the success of one's descendants. The representation of a monkey and a peach relates to the legendary Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, who stole the peaches of immortality. Therefore, the present lot bestows auspicious wishes for success and longevity for generations.
