Description

17th/18th century|Crisply carved around the exterior with wutong, cypress and pine trees against angular rocky outcrops, two large pine trees forming the handle with further gnarled branches and pine-needles emerging through the interior in high relief, a swirling stream at the base, the horn of reddish-brown tone. |10.5cm (4 1/8in) long.|十七/十八世紀 犀角松崖流溪盃Provenance: an English private collection來源: 英國私人收藏The present libation cup is solely carved in high relief with a mountainous landscape scene devoted to the craggy overhanging cliffs and gnarled pine, cypress and wutong trees set above a stream, invoking the idealistic nature retreat the literati would aspire to retire to. This bold design is more unusual compared to those also decorated with sages and attendants; compare a related but larger rhinoceros horn libation cup, signed Wenshu zhi, 17th century, from the collection of Harvard University Art Museums, illustrated in T.Fok, Connoisseurship of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, Hong Kong, 1999, no.131.See a related but larger rhinoceros horn libation cup, 17th/18th century, which was sold in these Rooms, 14 May 2015, lot 247.
