All,

Was doing some snuff bottle cataloging this morning on a new acquisition from the recent Christie's snuff bottle auction, "The Ruth and Carl Barron Collection of Fine Chinese Snuff Bottles: Part V, 13 September 2017, New York."  I did manage to pick up one bottle, so I thought I would share it as I was doing the documentation work. 

SOFT PASTE BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN PILLAR SNUFF BOTTLE WITH CONCENTRIC RING BASE:
The bottle is decorated beneath the lightly crackled glaze with two warriors from the novel Water Margin, Mu Chun and Zou Yuan, each identified by an inscription. The base unglazed with 13 concentric rings that is slightly dimpled in to the center of the base.
3 ¼ in. (8.3 cm.) high, quartz stopper.
 
Period:  Jingdezhen Kilns, 1820-1880

Provenance:   Elisabeth and Ladislas Kardos, Vancouver, Canada.
                       Robert Hall, London, 1995.
                       Ruth and Carl Barron Collection, Belmont, Massachusetts, no. 1932.

Exhibited: Boston, International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society Convention, The Barron Collection, 23-26 September 2008.

The bottle is on its way (i.e., being shipped) and the pictures are courtesy of Christie's.
