The largest 47cm (18 1/2in) long (4).|清末 犀角鏤雕花卉紋擺件 一對Provenance: a European private collection來源: 歐洲私人收藏The large full-tip cups were most probably carved in Guangdong, an important centre producing many categories of works of art including ivory, furniture, clocks and instruments, cloisonné and painted enamel, some of which were made as tribute to the Qing Court. Such impressive full-tip rhinoceros horn libation cups were often made in pairs and elevated on intricately carved hardwood stands, accentuating their presence; see a related rhinoceros horn full-tip libation cup, from the Durham University Oriental Museum, illustrated in J.Chapman, The Art of Rhinoceros Horn Carving in China, London, 1999, p.72, pl.38.A related pair of large rhinoceros horn full-tip libation cups, 19th century, was sold in these Rooms, 17 May 2012, lot 227.
