拍品专文

It is rare to find a combination of sandwiched glass (where a color is contained between transparent or translucent layers) and overlay. In this case the opaque white glass overlay has been cut away to reveal the speckled effects of sandwiching ground-up flakes of ruby-red glass between layers of white. The selection of the subject is masterful, with the white landscape containing a farmer returning to his mountain home cut through the outer opaque white glass layer revealing the sandwiched pink layer and suggesting the background of filtered light from a pink and red setting sun.

A bottle of a similar color palette and technique, but in the form of a cabbage, was sold at Christie's New York, The Ruth and Carl Barron Collection of Fine Chinese Snuff Bottles: Part II, 16 March 2016, lot 491.
