A WHITE GLAZED RELIEF-MOULDED PORCELAIN ‘LOTUS AND SPIDER’ SNUFF BOTTLE JINGDZHEN, 1780-1860 To Be Sold Without Reserve Moulded in the form of a lotus cluster of a large leaf, various stems, a seed pod and two buds Height: 7.5cm Provenance: Hugh Moss (HK) Ltd, 13th December 1999, (original invoice available) There is a small series of moulded lotus-form snuff bottles of this general design, usually enamelled with naturalistic colours. They all date from the nineteenth century. This is an unusual version in white, but is made even more unusual by the existence of its original stopper, moulded in the form of a spider. It is also in excellent condition, without any damage but equally without wear, which is unusual on early porcelain snuff bottles Ω This Lot was imported from outside of the UK, under the Temporary Admission regime 5% import VAT will be charged on the ‘hammer” and 20% VAT will be charged on the ‘buyer’s premium
