AN INSIDE-PAINTED GLASS 'FISHPOND' SNUFF BOTTLE, BY ZHOU LEYUAN, DATED 1891

Item Details

AN INSIDE-PAINTED GLASS 'FISHPOND' SNUFF BOTTLE, BY ZHOU LEYUAN, DATED 1891

Inscriptions: To one side, with a dedication 'For Zishou', dating 'Year of Xinmao (1891) in Beijing Studio Ouxiang Zhai', and signature 'Zhou Leyuan', one seal 'Yuan yin'.

Provenance: New York trade. Acquired from a private collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles.

Zhou Leyuan is the founder of the popular Beijing school of painting. His career spanned the period from 1881 to 1893. Every single artist of the first phase of the school owed a considerable debt to Zhou, and most began their careers by copying his style and signing his name. Some even devoted most of their careers to producing copies of his work. Hugh Moss has described Zhou Leyuan as “the single most important artist in the entire field of inside-painted snuff bottles”.
