A FAMILLE-ROSE PORCELAIN PEACH-FORM SNUFF BOTTLE, QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY
Molded and carved porcelain painted in polychrome enamels
China, 19th century
Naturalistically formed and carved to depict a peach with its leaves executed in reticulated manner, delicately painted with polychrome enamels. Most likely Jingdezhen.
Ceramics were produced in many parts of China, of course, and there were other main centers of production; but most are well-documented and distinctively different in their paste and usually in their range of glazes and enamels, as well. The two raw materials required for the finest porcelain were conveniently located in different deposits near Jingdezhen, which was the reason for its establishment as China’s main porcelain metropolis since long before the Qing dynasty. According to Rose Kerr, there were some three hundred kilns operating at Jingdezhen during the Daoguang period, and they produced the vast majority of the high-fired white-paste, fine-quality porcelain we see today. A bottle like the present one, although not typical of the broader range of Jingdezhen wares, is still likely to have been made there.
It is surprising that the peach shape does not occur far more often in porcelain snuff bottles. It was popular enough in other materials and is not a difficult form to make in a two-part mold, so given its obvious symbolism of longevity, we might expect far more to have been made than appears to be the case.
