十九世紀蒙古式鏨龍紋鼻煙壺

Provenance:
Parry Collection, London, and thence by descent

來源：
倫敦Parry家族收藏，並由後人保存迄今

This group of bottles was designed to suit Mongolian taste, particularly evident here in the stone-encrusted stopper. The probable reason for their manufacture was to curry favour with Mongolian princes and dignitaries, many of whom were granted noble titles by the eighteenth-century Qing Emperors.

For a comparable Mongolian-style silver and gold snuff bottle see Bonhams Hong Kong, Snuff Bottles from the Mary and George Bloch Collection, Part I, 28 May 2010, lot 2.

此類鼻煙壺，尤見其鑲嵌寶石的帽塞，應為滿足蒙古審美所作，供蒙古王子或王公貴族們日常使用。香港邦瀚斯曾於「瑪麗及莊智博鼻煙壺珍藏：第一部份」專場拍賣售出一例蒙古式金銀質鼻煙壺，2010年5月28日，拍品編號2，可資比對。
