A PAIR OF LARGE RUBY-GROUND FAMILLE ROSE BUDDHIST EMBLEM ALTAR ORNAMENTS, QING DYNASTYChina, 19th century. Each finely modeled and enameled in brilliant tones in the form of an open worked ruby-red medallion enclosing one of the Eight Buddhist Emblems (bajixiang), one the Parasol (san), representing spiritual authority, reverence, and purity, and the other the Vase (ping), symbolizing eternal harmony, the receptacle for lustral water, the nectar of immortality. The turquoise-glazed bases each with an iron red six-character seal mark da Qing Qianlong nianzhi.Provenance: Collection of Milton Drexel Rutherford (1894-1976), acquired in China between c. 1930 and 1940, and thence by descent within the same family. The storage boxes padded with Russian and Chinese newspaper clippings from the period. Each altar stand inscribed in black ink to the base, 'China'. Milton Drexel (Rex) Rutherford was a US veteran and engineer. He lived and worked in the city of Chicago, excavating the tunnels for the city's subway. His proliferate collection began when a client gifted him an artifact from eastern Asia igniting a passion for collecting Asian art, including Kangxi ceramics as well as Japanese metalwork and lacquers. Condition: Superb condition with expected old wear, minor rubbing and flaking to enamels, occasional light scratches. Small glaze touchups inherent to manufacture, and other firing irregularities. The boxes worn, soiled and with minor damages.Weight: 1,934 g and 2,020 Dimensions: Height 38.5 cm and 38.3 cm Each emblem sits atop a lotus pod with recessed seeds nestled in a lotus blossom raised on a stem of chevrons flanked by openwork curling leaves, the whole raised on a domed base neatly enameled on a ruby-red ground with lappets framed by bands of ruyi-heads and key-fret, lappets, and covered in turquoise enamel on the interior.Each with an old fitted wood stand, finely carved with lotus lappets between two key-fret bands, dating to the late 19th century.Each with an old compartmented storage box, dating ca. 1930-1949. (6)The present lot belongs to a group of important altar ornaments placed in temples and chapels in front of Buddhist deities. The complicated openwork panels required a manual dexterity in handling the clay and testify of the technical virtuosity of the Jingdezhen potters at the kilns in Jiangxi province. Richly painted in the famille-rose enamel palette, they reflect the eclectic and ornate style of the period. As a serious student and active practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1736-1795) commissioned thousands of ritual implements and sacrificial utensils to furnish the renovated and newly built monasteries and temples as well as the numerous chapels and shrines in the palaces in the Forbidden City, Yuanmingyuan summer palace and the Chengde summer residence. Religious objects formed also part of the presents offered to family and court members. He is known, for example, to have lavished these on his beloved mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaosheng (1691-1771), who was a pious Buddhist. They equally played an essential role in the interchange of gifts to honor religious and diplomatic relations with the Dalai and Panchen Lamas who came to Chengde to pay homage to the Emperor.A complete set of the bajixiang, similar in design to the present lot, can be seen on an altar in front of a statue of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, in the Fanzonglou (Hall of Buddhism), a private chapel in the Forbidden City, see Qing gong Zang chuan fojiao wenwu/Culltural relics of Tibetan Buddhism Collected in the Qing Palace, Beijing, 1992, pl. 99-1, where related sets of altar ornaments in gilt copper and silver gilt are also illustrated, pls. 138 and 139. A complete set of altar emblems is depicted in an official Court portrait, illustrated in Court Paintings of the Qing Dynasty of the Collection in the Palace Museum, Beijing, 1992, pl. 14, where the emblems are arranged on a low table in front of Emperor Kangxi holding a string of beads.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 19 September 2007, lot 414 Price: USD 43,000 or approx.

AN INSCRIBED OVERLAY GLASS 'CAT AND BUTTERFLY' SNUFF BOTTLE, BY WANG SU, YANGZHOU SCHOOL, CHINA, 1820-1840Inscriptions: To the front, upper right, 'Xiaomou' (Little Prunus). The flattened bottle of rounded rectangular form, superbly carved through the outer olive-brown layer to the translucent milky-white body to one side with a cat seated on a pierced craggy rock beside flowering chrysanthemum, the feline looking up at two butterflies fluttering above. The other side is similarly decorated with sprays of bamboo springing from rockwork. Both sides are separated by sprigs of grass on the shoulders. The front is carved with a three-character inscription. Provenance: Robert Kleiner & Co. Ltd., London, United Kingdom, 2010. A private collection in the United Kingdom, acquired from the above. A copy of the original invoice from Robert Kleiner & Co. Ltd., dated 30 June 2010, confirming the signature of Wang Su and dating above, and stating the purchase price for the present lot of GBP 5,000 or approx. EUR 10,000 (converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing), accompanies this lot. Robert Kleiner (1948-2014) was an important expert of Chinese snuff bottles, beginning his long career at Sotheby's in London. Along with Hugh Moss and Bob Hall, he became a key advisor to the Mary and George Bloch collection, and it was Robert who wrote and produced the very first catalog of their bottles.The base lacquered with two old collector's inscriptions, '137' and 'JBO'. Condition: Superb condition with minimal surface wear, light scratches, and manufacturing irregularities.Stopper: Glass in imitation of coralWeight: 39.5 gDimensions: Height incl. stopper 75 mm, Diameter neck 14 mm and mouth 6 mm Wang Su (1794-1877) was a prominent literatus and painter from the Yangzhou area. Very few snuff bottles are actually signed by the artist, who preferred to use the seal 'Xiaomei' ('Little Prunus'), which he always used on his paintings as well. On one documentary bottle in a Hong Kong collection, both names appear together: 'Xiaomei, Wang Su' (see JICSBS, Spring 2001, page 23, fig. 26). Wang Su was also an accomplished seal carver. He seems to have lived his life in Yangzhou, was a professional painter who achieved a level of fame early in life, and probably was able to commission snuff bottles with his name on them. The earliest dated Xiaomei-signed bottle was made in 1821 (JICSBS Spring 2011, page 23, fig. 29), when he was in his late twenties and beginning to be known locally. He became more widely known and acknowledged as an artist only later in his career.Cats and butterflies are symbols of longevity. The cat (mao) is a homonym for 'seventy', while the butterfly (die) shares the same sound as 'eighty'. Together, they form a rebus for maodie. This term implies that one would live to be seventy or eighty - considered high age in ancient China.Literature comparison: Wang Su's name appears on a small group of bottles from the Li Junting School, including one in the Bloch Collection, illustrated Hugh Moss, Victor Graham, and Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles: The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 5, Glass, no. 1046. Compare another snuff bottle by Wang Su, illustrated in Robert Kleiner, Previous Playthings: Important Chinese Snuff Bottles From the Mack Collection, 2000, no. 34. Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Bonhams Hong Kong, 25 May 2011, lot 63 Price: HKD 120,000 or approx. EUR 19,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing Description: An inscribed olive-brown glass overlay 'hunter and fisherman' snuff bottle, Sun Shihua, probably Yangzhou, 1807-1867 Expert remark: Compare the closely related form, color with similar olive-brown overlay on milky-white ground, and manner of carving. Note the size (68 mm) and the different inscription. Update 25.9.2023: The design on the present bottle is likely based on a subject found in a Qing Huapu - a painting manual - from the second half of the 19th century in which Wang Su's works appears . The painter Wang Su himself was, however, not the carver who made the present lot, as once believed.1820-1840年王素涅白地套料耄耋鼻煙壺扁平壺，溜肩，修長，涅白地套橄欖棕色料，精美地雕刻著一隻貓，坐在盛開的菊花旁邊的假山上，貓抬頭看著上面飛舞的兩隻蝴蝶。另一面也裝飾著竹子和山石。款識：小某作 來源：英國倫敦Robert Kleiner & Co.

A scarce Victory Medal awarded to Private R. F. Vanderplank, Royal Army Medical Corps, late Non Combatant Corps, a ‘conscientious objector’ who put faith at the forefront of his decision making and served his country through hard manual labour and assisting the sick and wounded Victory Medal 1914-19 (144286 Pte. R. F. Vanderplank. R.A.M.C.) nearly very fine £60-£80 --- Robert Frank Vanderplank was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire, on 21 January 1878. A joiner and carpenter by trade, his Army Service Record records him living with his wife at 27 Quentin Street, Cardiff, and worshipping as an active member of the Plymouth Brethren. According to historian Elisabeth Wilson in The Eyes of the Authorities are Upon Us: The Brethren and World War I, the outbreak of the Great War ‘took the Brethren by surprise, and forced many of them to examine their views on the state afresh... There was private agonising over decisions, and some public debate and disagreement.’ Alongside Quakers, Christadelphians and Jehovah’s Witnesses, many refused to take up arms, and this in turn resulted in a large number of military tribunals; those who found enlistment acceptable were soon deployed as stretcher bearers and despatch riders, but those who refused to co-operate or faced unsympathetic magistrates were swiftly and harshly dealt with. Wilson notes, ‘there were usually forty or fifty brethren from Open assemblies in Dartmoor (prison) at any one time.’ Keeping strongly to his core belief, ‘thy shalt not kill’, Vanderplank obtained exemption from carrying arms on 2 August 1916. Appointed Private in the recently created Non Combatant Corps, he witnessed home service with No. 5 (Northern) Company and No. 6 (Western) Company, before requesting transfer to the Royal Army Medical Corps on 9 July 1918. Sent to Blackpool for training, he crossed from Southampton to Havre on 7 November 1918 and witnessed the final days of the war attached to 1/1 Northumbrian Field Ambulance.
