拍品資料及來源

The cyclical date on the present lot can correspond to either 1836 or 1896. According to Chinese sources, the artist He Xinzhou was active during the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods, which supports the later date. In addition, as mentioned in Hugh Moss, Victor Graham, Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, vol. 6, part 3, Arts of the Fire, Hong Kong 2009, p. 967, no. 1461, in their discussion of this bottle, the transfer of ancient bronze inscriptions onto other works of art was fashionable throughout the 19th century, and many known examples on snuff bottles, Yixing teapots, bamboo wares and other art forms date from the mid-to late 19th century.

The archaic inscription on the bottle is a copy from an archaic vessel called a jue, called the Mugong jue, most likely from the late Shang dynasty. The inscription being the central decorative feature of the bottle, points to the appreciation and level of connoisseurship for archaism during the Qing dynasty.
