近代 料胎畫琺瑯花石詩文鼻煙壺|Snuff bottle with flowers and rocks

Unknown

ca. 1920–40 · Painted enamel on glass with nephrite stopper · Asian Art

This snuff bottle displays an opaque white background and poetic inscriptions on its back, which, together with a shared use of enamel, reflects the ties between the glass workshops in Beijing and the kilns at Jingdezhen. Visually, it resembles a small group of eighteenth-century imperial white porcelain with fine enamel painting combining painting and poem. Such porcelains were painted at the court in Beijing rather than at the Jingdezhen kilns farther south.
