Diameter neck 17 mm and mouth 7 mm.The Lantingji Xu, often translated as the Preface to the Poems Collected from the Orchid Pavilion, is a seminal work in Chinese literature and calligraphy, written in 353 CE by the revered Eastern Jin dynasty calligrapher Wang Xizhi. The piece was composed during a gathering of scholars at the Orchid Pavilion (Lanting) near present-day Shaoxing, in Zhejiang Province. The occasion was the Spring Purification Festival, celebrated on the third day of the third lunar month, a day traditionally marked by drinking wine, composing poetry, and performing rituals to ward off evil.Ma Shaoxuan (1867-1939) was one of the most technically accomplished artists of the Beijing School of snuff-bottle painting, which was founded by Zhou Leyuan and included other leading artists, such as Ding Erzhong, Ye Zhongsan and Zi Yizi. Besides his famous monochromatic portrait bottles of leading Qing officials and personalities, Ma first appears to have painted bottles of the present design, with ordered rows of paintings and rubbings, in 1895, as well as a second type with a scattered grouping of fragmentary and worn documents. These depictions of paintings and calligraphy reflect the artist's wish to display his mastery of the calligraphic styles of great artists of the past. They typically appear opposite calligraphic inscriptions, as seen here, and/or landscapes or figural scenes.
