A Ruby Red-OVeRlAy ‘shOu’
glAss bOX ANd cOVeR, QINg

China, 1820-1920 or earlier*. The rounded box rising from a short foot
ring, the domed cover deftly carved through the ruby-red layer with a
shou character in the center and five bats along the sides, above three
peaches, three pomegranates and two Buddha hand citrons, all on a
transparent white bubble-suffused ground.

Provenance: British private collection.
condition: Good condition with minor wear and manufacturing flaws,
minimal nibbles, a small chip (1.2 cm long) to the lip of the cover, and
some open bubbles, mostly to the foot ring.

Weight: 338.3 g
Dimensions: Diameter 10.4 cm
Four-character Qianlong mark in overlay to base. The lips of the box and
the cover as well as the foot ring are carved from the overlay glass as well.
* There is a distant chance that this box was made before 1820, even
towards the end of the Qianlong period (c. 1780-1790), and therefore could
be mark and period, however the intricately incised rhombic pattern to the
background would be rather unusual for the period. Therefore, we chose to
date this piece more conservatively.
