Material: Antique/Vintage Natural Rutilated Quartz / Rock Crystal body with dense, fine needle-like mineral inclusions throughout.
• Stopper Assembly: Polished carnelian agate cap with an intact cork stopper and an attached bone/composite interior scoop spoon.
• Dimensions: Approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall inclusive of the stopper.
• Decoration: Masterfully detailed, hand-rendered inside-painting (neihua) depicting a dense, continuous wrap-around pond scene with multiple vibrant red, orange, and blue telescope-eye goldfish (jinyu) swimming over dark river stones.
Provenance & Trade History
• Estate History: Formally held within the private estate collection of an established, long-time collector.
• Base Markings: The oval foot rim retains legacy paper inventory labels featuring stock codes ("4600 HRY") and handwritten Chinese characters "天然水晶" (Tianran Shuijing), confirming its historical trade classification as genuine Natural Rock Crystal.
Condition Report
• Overall Condition: Excellent condition. The interior painting remains exceptionally bright, well-preserved, and completely free of moisture damage, fading, or paint loss. The stopper assembly functions perfectly and sits securely.
• Surface Note: Consistent with authentic, hand-carved natural stone, one side exhibits tiny, naturally occurring surface pocket marks/mineral inclusions inherent to rutilated quartz (visible in close-up photos). There are no post-production chips, drops, cracks, or repairs.
