CHRISTIE'S HONG KONG; FOREWORD BY LI, JAMES; INTRODUCTION BY MOSS, HUGH

Christie's Hong Kong, Important Chinese Snuff Bottles from the J & J Collection, Part 1, Sunday 25 April 2004

Christie's Hong Kong. 2004. Hardcover. Book, English text; Hardcover (without dust jacket, as issued); 21.8 x 27.7 cm; 1.022 Kg; 190 pages with lots from 801 to 808 all with colour illustration.; Signs of wear. Minimal edgeworn. No markings, writing or highlighting on the interior except for one page that shows signs of have been bent.; Auction catalogue.; Foreword by James Li and introduction by Hugh Moss; “The elevation to art of the Chinese snuff bottle began at the Court of the Kangxi Emperor in the late seventeenth century. Addicted to snuff throughout the dynasty, the rulers of the Middle Kingdom fostered the habit, devising exquisite, highly artistic containers in which to keep their precious powder in perfect condition and readily to hand. Naturally, snuffing became widespread among the Official Class and, as that vast body of highly literate civil servants was posted around the Empire and as they returned to their homes after the service, they spread the habit far and wide. By the mid-Qing period addiction to snuff had spread throughout the Empire, and, encouraged by Imperial example, two Imperial trends spread with it: the production of artistic containers to hold the snuff; and collecting snuff bottles, usually in far greater numbers than function alone required. Although the production of fine snuff bottles become wide-spread by the latter part of the eighteenth century, reaching far beyond the Court, Imperial demand continued to the end of the dynasty in 1911. Initially a great deal of this production came out of the Imperial workshops located at the Court (within the Forbidden City, in the Imperial City which enclosed it, and at the Yuanming yuan – the Imperial Gardens to the West of Beijing). The Imperial glass manufactory, set up in 1796 with the help of Kilian Stumpft and his fellow Missionaries, was probably responsible for well over half of all Imperial snuff bottles produced during the eighteenth century, sometimes responding to orders as large as five hundred bottles for distribution as fits on a single, festive occasion. Glass and other hard-stones, including jade, were carved at the Court lapidary workshop, while others were produced in workshops for lacquer, wood, ivory and – among the jewels of eighteenth century Imperial production – enamels on metal and glass. The Court was also supplied by distant Imperial facilities at Guangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jingdezhen, and elsewhere. Orders placed around the country, combined with regular tribute from high officials in all the major artistic centres, swelled the Imperial collection and, in part, provided the enormous number of gifts distributed by the Court every year. A great deal of this production was specifically ordered by the Emperor, or produced in response to his taste, reflecting Imperial predilection, style and designs. This large body of snuff bottles, despite difficulties in universal identification, is all Imperial to some extent. There may be a difference in importance and appeal between an enamelled metal bottle, specifically ordered by the Emperor, designed by artist in the Imperial Academy of art, painted by either a Chinese, Court-artist or a Jesuit missionary, and designated as having been made “By Imperial Command” and a plain jade miniature meiping (‘prunus-blossom vase’) carved only with mask handles of an Imperial style and produced for the Court, perhaps even at a distant facility. Both, however, are properly Imperial. Indeed, for all we know the enamelled bottle may have been made as a gift to an official and barely, if at all, brushed the Emperor’s palm, while the unassuming jade bottle might have nested in it regularly over the years.” excerpt from the introduction by Hugh Moss.

Interior in very good condition.; Introduction by Roger Cunliffe; Texts by Anthony Carter, Dominic Jellinek and Colin Sheaf.; Auction catalogue.; Collection of Chinese Ceramics and Jade Carvings by the 2nd Baron Cunliffe, who died in 1963. Rolf Cunliffe “started his collection of Chinese artworks by buying a piece as a birthday present for his brother – but then kept it. As a RAF officer stationed in London during the later part of World War II, and with all is family evacuated to America, he needed a distraction in his time off duty.” His flat near Grosvenor Square was small, “so pieces were changed frequently, and then returned to the celadon green steel office cabinets squeezed into his bathroom. Thus it was that visiting collectors like the King of Sweden would spend happy hours sitting on the edge of the bath discussing the finer points of a jade rhyton or a Junyao bowl.” (these quotations are excerpts from the introduction by Roger Cunliffe).; “Over a period of almost twenty years Lord Cunliffe purchased more than 400 pieces from Bluetts. These ranged in type from early jades and fine Shang bronzes to the best of the Ming Imperial porcelains, and a relatively small number of Qing wares. His Song ceramics included almost all categories known in those years with the exception of Ruyao, always a very scarce commodity.” excerpt from the text by Anthony Carter and Dominic Jellinek.; “It is true as Anthony Carter and Dominic Jellinek write, that the Cunliffe Collection represents the second great omoment of ‘English collecting Chinese ceramics’ excerpt from Colin Sheaf text.

The Bullivant Collection of Armorial Porcelain Offered by Direction of the Exectors of the Late Cecil H. Bullivant

Phillips Son and Neale Limited, London. 1998. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket. Gilt lettering on front cover and spine of the cloth.); 21.5 x 26 cm; 0.7 Kg; 126 pages with 386 lots some with colour illustrations. Includes loose index of families and relevant lots.; Used with minor signs of wear, except some minor wear signs on the dust jacket front cover, spine and back cover. Interior in very good condition.; Auction catalogue for the sale 27,082 held at Phillips, Son & Neale, London on Tuesday 22 March 1998.; Cecil Henry Bullivant F.S.A. (1882-1981): author, traveller, lecturer, antique dealer and collector. Cecil Bullivant, who was responsible for this important collection of Chinese armorial porcelain, was born at Linslade, Bedfordshire. His early career in magazine journalism was interrupted by the outbreak of war in 1914, when he served in the Royal Navy. In 1919 he turned to freelance writing and wrote many novels, sometimes using pen names such as Francis Everard and Henry Turvile. He travelled abroad extensively with his wife, the former Miss Nelie Copson, whom he had married in 1904. In 1925 he entered the world of antiques, taking over Century House Galleries in Knigtsbridge, London, from Sir Albernon Tudor-Craig, a notable collector of Chinese armorial porcelain, and a business was opened in Cromer, Norfolk, by Mrs Bullivant. In 1945, Mr Bullivant, now retired moved to Minehead in Somerset. Sadly, his wife died shortly after their arrival. A year later he married Miss Muriel Hudson, of Little Shelford, Cambridgeshire. Together they started to form the magnificent Bullivant collection of Chinese armorial porcelain, which has come on the market following the death, last year, of Mrs Muriel Bullivant. Under her will, hospital, children's and animal charities will benefit from the sale. Chinese armorial porcelain was commissioned by British families and institutions in large quantities between 1695 and 1820, much of it being shipped through the port of Canton. David Sanctuary Howard dedicated his definitive work, "Chinese Armorial Porcelain" (1974) to Cecil Bullivant and drew heavily on the Bullivant collection for references and illustrations. In the book, Mr. Howard quoted an anonymous writer on the subject: "If you are a person of imagination (.) buy yourself a cabinet and fill it with pieces of old armorial porcelain (.) and the china will turn novelist (.) A world of ballad and of lost hopes is in it; ideals of the West intermingled with the glamour of the East; in one delicate piece the tale of an English peer and a Chinese mandarin. The sun never sets over this porcelain.". Very Good/Dust Jacket Included.
