十八/十九世紀 瑪瑙巧雕鷄紋鼻烟壺
Provenance: Estelle Chapman, London
Trudy and John Cohen, collection no.B36, acquired from the above circa 1973
Estelle Chapman, 倫敦
Trudy及John Cohen伉儷，藏品編號B36，約1973年從上處獲得
Homophonous with the word meaning auspicious , the cockerel () has come to symbolise good luck and is believed to ward off evil. Its red comb ( 冠) resembles, and puns on, the official's hat ( 冠冕). A visual rebus is formed by depicting a rooster with a comb ( 冠) by a coxcomb plant ( 雞冠花), which together create the phrase (冠上加冠), meaning 'May you be granted promotion after promotion'. With its charming and warm depiction of a rooster striding toward a cockscomb, the present snuff bottle would have made an ideal gift for someone aspiring to pass the Civil Service examinations.
