COD: IP12 Categoria:

Descrizione

Description:   Two Chinese glass snuff bottles of rounded fat form, and big size. Both are painted in the “Bapo” style with panels of different subjects each bottle. Painted by Yan Yutian but not signed.

Material:  Glass.

Size:  98 mm high

Provenance:  Antiquarian market

References:  The last picture is showing a Yan Yu Tian signed bottle with the same “cat and butterfly” motif from the Ruth and Carl Barron Collection.

Notes: “Bapo”, or “Eight brokens” is a particular painting style similar to collage, not commonly known, that was mainly on fashion in the second half of 19th century. The MFA Museum of Boston has a good collection of Bapo paintings.

In the low part of the first image there is a cat and a butterfly. Being the cat a pun for “age eighty to ninety” and the butterfly a pun for “age seventy to eighty”, the hidden meaning here is “May you live into your seventies and eighties”.
