A WELL-CARVED BLACK AND WHITE JADE SNUFF BOTTLE
The bottle is carved in high relief on one side with Zhong Kui escorting his sister to her wedding. The demon queller holds a fan as he walks in front of his sister who is being pushed in a wheeled chair by a demon, while another demon carrying a stack of ribbon-tied books follows behind from the reverse of the bottle which is carved with an couplet, zhong shan feng xing, zhu e mo zuo, which may be translated as ‘cultivate all good, create no evil’.
2 ½ in. (6.3 cm.) high, rose quartz stopper

拍品专文

The clever use of the white markings in the stone to enhance the figural scenes speaks to the mastery of this bottle’s maker. The contrast of the seated bride in white against the black wheeled chair is particularly impressive. For other examples of well-carved Suzhou bottles carved from black and white jade, see Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, the Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 1, pp. 318-35, nos. 126-131.
