御壶洞天，掌上龙跃 —秋拍鼻烟壶专场赏析 Heaven in a Teapot, Dragon on a Palm -Introduction on China Guardian 2013 Autumn Auction on Snuff Bottles 文／张笑莲 By Zhang Xiaolian The Chinese nation is known as ‘Descendants of the Dragon’. In the ancient Chinese folklores, dragon has equal reputation as Pangu, who created the universe by separating heaven and earth in Chinese mythology; it also plays an important role in the marriage between Fuxi and Nuwa, who created the human beings; it helped Huangdi emperor to unify the country; it helped Xiayu to control the flood, which was a blessing for future generations. So since the ancient society, dragon was used as a unique form in ancient utensils. Similarly, dragon pattern is a lasting theme in snuff bottles. In the traditional Chinese Guisi ‘secondary dragon year’, China Guardian will launch Universe in the Royal Snuff Bottles-Treasure of Snuff Bottles, which will present a series of snuff bottles with dragon patterns. We hope that collection enthusiasts will appreciate the glamour of dragon patterns in snuff bottles. 嘉德通讯嘉德通讯 129129 第5期第5期 Market Hotspots 行情热点 5816 5792 5811 清乾隆 瓷胎料彩云龙纹烟壶 清嘉庆 红彩苍龙教子纹烟壶 清道光 青花龙纹烟壶一对 AN ENAMELED PORCELAIN SNUFF BOTTLE AN IRON RED PORCELAIN SNUFF BOTTLE A PAIR OF BLUE AND WHITE PORCELAIN SNUFF WITH DRAGON AND CLOUD WITH DRAGONS BOTTLE WITH DRAGON Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Qing Dynasty, Jiaqing Qing Dynasty, Daoguang 6.5 cm. high 4.3 cm. high 5.5 cm. high RMB: 600,000 - 800,000 RMB: 30,000 - 50,00
