EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Snuff Bottle with Two Hawks on Rockwork, dating back to the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) in China. Crafted between 1800 and 1900, this exquisite piece of art is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of that era. The snuff bottle, made from agate, features two intricately carved hawks perched on rockwork. The black color of the birds beautifully contrasts against the white background, creating a visually striking depiction. Each detail has been meticulously crafted, showcasing the skill and dedication of its creator. Displayed at an art gallery in Chicago's renowned Art Institute, this artifact represents not only Chinese heritage but also serves as a significant example of applied arts from Asia. Its presence within the Asian collection further emphasizes its cultural importance. As we gaze upon this historic treasure, we are transported back to ancient times when snuff bottles were used for storing powdered tobacco. Beyond their practical function, these vessels were highly valued for their decorative qualities and served as symbols of status and wealth. While the artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown to us today, their talent shines through every delicate stroke carved into the quartz surface. This photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance—a true gem preserved for generations to come.
