Enameled glass snuff bottles with the signature Wu Yuchuan are discussed by the authors Moss, Graham, Tsang, in A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, the Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 6, Part I, Hong Kong, 2008, pp. 195-198, where it is noted that this group has connections to the ‘Hu Xuan’ group and the Guyue Xuan group as a whole. While the ‘Hu Xuan’ group appears to be a name derived from Guyue Xuan, and not an individual, Wu Yuchuan was an enameler who most likely began his training in around 1767 in the palace (ibid., p. 197). Based on signed examples of his work, he appears to have been active, probably at court, during the second half of the Qianlong reign.
For a full discussion of the artist and his connections to the palace see H. Moss, “Mysteries of the Ancient Moon,” JICSBS, Spring 2006, pp. 23-27, where a number of his signed bottles are illustrated.
Wu Yuchuan’s works are characterized by the inclusion of lotus blossoms on his earlier bottles, a simplified color palette, and the addition of seals, inscriptions and his signature, and occasionally a Guyue Xuan or Qianlong mark.
Another bottle also enameled by Wu Yuchuan from the Ruth and Carl Barron Collection of Fine Chinese Snuff Bottles: Part III, was sold at Christie's New York, 14 September 2016, lot 577.
