Qing dynasty, 1780–1850 Height: 2 ½ in. (6.3 cm) excluding stopper A well-hollowed bottle of smoky-grey color, the skilled-carver has taken advantage of the natural dark inclusions of the stone to reveal a seated monkey holding a peach on one side and smaller monkey between two rocks on the other side. The monkey carrying a peach is a symbol of longevity. Published: Asiantiques, Chinese Works of Art (2009), cat. no. 71 Ref. 859096 |
