(2).

Christie's London, 18 March 1975, lot 100

Homophonous with the character (餘) meaning abundance, the fish ( 魚) has come to represent plenitude, whether of wealth, children, or good health. Here, the pair of fish swimming in unison symbolises marital harmony, making this bottle an ideal wedding gift. The auspicious message is reinforced on the bottle's reverse, where an additional fish appears alongside a lotus ( 蓮) stem, forming the rebus (連連有餘) and therefore wishing the newly married couple to 'repeatedly have surplus'. The accompanying millet spray further conveys the wish for fecundity.
It is worth noting that the fish on the reverse is engraved around a single dark inclusion, cleverly incorporated as the creature's eye. In this respect, the present lot may be classified within the 'eye-ball group' as discussed by H.Moss, , London, 1971, p.56.
A related chalcedony snuff bottle, 1800-1860, is illustrated by R.Hall, , Hong Kong, 2005, no.57.
