Imperial, Jingdezhen kilns, Daoguang mark and of the period
1821-1850
Of compressed globular form with a cylindrical neck, rounded lip,
finely painted on one side with two frolicking Pekinese, the verso

foot neatly inscribed with the four-character mark.

Provenance
Robert Hall, 12th November 1985
The theme of paired Pekinese dogs and doves suggests conjugal
bliss and was a subject very much favoured by the Daoguang
emperor. Similar motifs are seen on the contemporary porcelains of
the period and snuff bottles made from other materials as well.
Compare an enameled and slip-decorated Yixing snuff bottle from the
Collection of Barbara and Marvin Dicker, sold in our New York rooms,
