Description

A SAPPHIRE-BLUE GLASS OVERLAY ‘LOTUS POND’ SNUFF BOTTLE, ATTRIBUTED TO THE IMPERIAL GLASSWORKS, BEIJING, 1750-1790

The baluster body supported on a short foot and rising to a rounded shoulder with tapered neck and thick everted rim. The exterior masterfully carved through the transparent sapphire-blue outer layer to the opaque milky-white ground with a single overlay of lotus growing in clumps of leaves, flowers, and buds from waves around the base.

Provenance: Collection of John Gilmore Ford. The Albemarle Collection, acquired from the above. Robert Kleiner & Co. Ltd.. London, United Kingdom, 2004. A private collection in the United Kingdom, acquired from the above. A copy of the original invoice from Robert Kleiner & Co. Ltd., dated 30 September 2004, confirming the Imperial attribution and dating above, and stating a purchase price for the present lot of GBP 5,500 or approx. EUR 13,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. John Gilmore Ford, former president of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, is a widely respected collector of Asian art, beginning his highly important collection already in his early twenties. He was strongly influenced by his godfather, Edward Choate O’Dell, the founder of the Chinese Snuff Bottle Society. Gary Vikan, director of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, has said that, “Ford, more than anyone, has assumed the mantle of the collector whose scope and ambition has a civic dimension.”
