Description

AN INSIDE-PAINTED AGATE ‘SNAILS AND TOADS’ SNUFF BOTTLE, BY YE SHUYING, 20TH CENTURY

Ye Shuying is the daughter of Ye Bengqi and learned the art of painting inside snuff bottles from her father, having the noteworthy distinction of being the first woman to be taught this craft. She joined the Apricot Grove Studio as a student in September 1957 and began painting inside snuff bottles in 1958. Through all her work the Ye family tradition and particularly her father’s style remain apparent, and the subjects and styles drawn from her father’s enameling technique can be clearly seen. See Hugh Moss, The Apricot Grove Studio Part II. The Artists – After 1949, JICSBS Spring 1985, p. 110-115.

China, Beijing, Chongwen district, the Apricot Grove Studio. The bottle is carved from plain agate which has been repurposed, originally dating from circa 1750-1850. Well hollowed, the square body with rounded shoulders raised on an oval foot, surmounted by a cylindrical neck with slightly concave mouth, finely carved in relief with two beast masks suspending mock rings to the narrow sides. One side neatly painted with snails on rockwork and inscribed to the top left and with a seal mark. The reverse featuring two toads perched in grass. The translucent stone is of a variegated pale gray and beige color with amber-colored inclusions.

Inscriptions: One side, signed ‘by Ye Shuying’ with a red seal mark.
