A symbol of strength, the phoenix was believed to appear during the reigns of benevolent emperors and thus came to herald auspicious times. In the present lot, it stands amid bamboo and rock, emblems of humility and steadfastness and thus embodying the Confucian ideals of the gentleman. The bird is crisply defined through the carving of the material's brown skin, its tone akin to the snuff once held within, gradually revealed as the contents were used.
See a rock crystal snuff bottle which features a phoenix highlighted by the stone's brown skin, 18th/19th century, illustrated by H.Moss, , London, 1971, p.30, no.65.
A rock crystal snuff bottle using the stone's opaque skin to depict a bird in an otherwise transparent landscape, 1760-1860 and attributed to the Rustic Crystal Master, was sold at Christie's New York, 16 September 2015, lot 282.
