An extremely rare Chinese Imperial lacquer box, Kangxi mark and period, together with a fine and large Buffalo horn snuff bottle, the square shaped box with inverted corners and fine red lacquer basket weave decoration to the sides, within a black lacquer border with gold decoration, the top finely decorated in gold with two grazing buffalo in a pastoral landscape within a key fret decoration frame. Kangxi four character mark in gold lacquer to the interior of lid. The base interior fitted with early Chinese silk brocade enclosing a large Buffalo horn snuff bottle with incised wave design and carved to each side with a Phoenix astride a tortoise. Much Japanese lacquer ware was imported into China during the 16th and 17th centuries and numerous examples were acquired by the court and still survive in the collection of Palace Museum in Beijing. During the reign of the Kangxi emperor certain palace workshops were set up to produce fine lacquers and the present box would most likely have been made in one of them. The silk brocade used to contain the snuff bottle appears to be of similar age to the box so it is possible that the box was made for the snuff bottle. Snuff was introduced to China by Europeans in the mid 17th century and soon afterwards the Chinese were making decorative bottles with special stoppers to contain the snuff. After the Kangxi emperor and his officials adopted the habit of taking snuff, the palace workshops began to produce bottles of the very highest quality for the court and these were made in a variety of materials including most commonly porcelain but also jade and hard stones and organic substances such as ivory and horn. As a form of inverted snobbery, some were exquisitely fashioned from more readily available organic materials as is the case with the bottle here.
