[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

“Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Collection of Mary and George Bloch”

By Robert W.L. Kleiner.
Published in London by Sydney L. Moss Ltd. in 1987.

The superbly-produced catalog to this major collection. The Bloch 
Collection of snuff bottles was auctioned in a multi-session sale 
several years ago by Bonhams to record prices. The Bonham's press 
release noted- "Several great collections of snuff bottles were formed 
in the early 20th Century in Asia, Europe and the USA. However, no 
collection formed in the modern era can rival that formed by the late 
George Bloch (1920-2009). It consists of bottles purchased at auction 
and from leading international snuff bottle dealers from 1983 onwards. 
Extensively published and exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art and 
British Museum, it is widely regarded as the highest quality collection 
of snuff bottles in private hands. The contents of this world famous 
collection span three centuries of top-level Chinese craftsmanship."

Hardcover. 8.5"x11.5", 237 pages, color illustrations, dust jacket. 
Minor soil, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight binding. $65 net.
