拍品描述
Expert's note: The subject of the present lot was particularly popular among porcelain snuff bottle makers during the first half of the 19th century, although it originated in this medium in the late Qianlong period. The skillful painting and rich gilding seen on our bottle make this a rare and fine example of the group that is probably of relatively early date, possibly within the Qianlong period itself. China. The flattened ovoid body tapering towards the oval foot, surmounted by a short waisted neck with flat mouth, finely worked in enamels to each side to depict the Eighteen Arhats in a rocky landscape, backed by a richly gilded ground, a dragon framed by clouds wrapping around the neck.The slightly concave foot with an iron-red four-character mark Qianlong nianzhi.One side shows Jubo Luohan rising an alms bowl, Fuhu Luohan with his tiger, Changmei Luohan holding his long eyebrows, standing among the others, and the other side depicting Jianlong Luohan raising his arm towards the dragon above, Kanmen Luohan holding his staff, Xiaoshi Luohan holding his Buddhist lion, and Tuota Luohan with a pagoda in his left hand, centered by the remaining luohan.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 wear and firing irregularities, some rubbing to the gilt mainly around the mouth and foot, and light surface scratches.Stopper: Coral cabochon on a black plateletWeight: 31.8 gDimensions: Height including stopper 56 mm. Diameter neck 18 mm and mouth 8 mmA luohan is a disciple of Buddha who attained enlightenment and achieved perfection, but chose to postpone his accession to Nirvana, choosing instead to remain in the world to aid sentient beings. The luohan achieved enlightenment through instruction rather than through his own insight and meditation, and as a result, ranked just below the bodhisattva. The term Luohan, or 'Arhat' in Sanskrit, means 'worthy' or 'venerable' and refers to the Buddha's original disciples; this term also extended to any holy figure who upheld and defended the Buddhist dharma. Originally only four, their numbers increased to sixteen, then eighteen and ultimately to five hundred.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Poly Auction, Beijing, 9 December 2018, lot 6136Estimate: CNY 30,000 or approx.
