拍品描述
China. Well hollowed and carved in form of a peach with two monkeys clambering on its leafy branches that grow from the base, and with a small bat perched above. The translucent stone is of an even white tone apart from a faint russet area to one side.Provenance: This bottle comes from a collection that originates from a highly distinguished Taiwanese family and was assembled primarily during the 1980s and 1990s. Many of the snuff bottles in the collection were acquired in Hong Kong, with the majority believed to have been purchased through Christie's and Sotheby's during this period. While original receipts were not retained, possibly due to the sheer size of the collection, it is likely that several of these bottles can be traced in Sotheby's and Christie's catalogues from the 1980s and 1990s. Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear, the coral stopper and cork with remnants of adhesive, the stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks.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 monkey and 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.Stopper: Coral branchWeight: 63.9 gDimensions: Height including stopper 57 mm. Diameter mouth 6 mm.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams New York, 18 March 2019, lot 682Price: USD 5,700 or approx.
