Hardback. , . Author: Humphrey K. F. Hui, Peter Y. K. LamFormat: HardbackNumber of Pages: Through continuous development of forms, workmanship and the use of materials throughout the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, Chinese snuff bottles had branched out as a distinguished art form. This miniature art which encompasses organic materials, metal, nephrite, stones, glass and ceramics and decorated with all art forms and motifs is a microcosm of the entire traditional Chinese culture as well as their superior artistry. The 139 bottles in this catalog are selected from the Humphrey K.F. Hui Collection, sharing a collective theme of "Court-related". All the bottles possess the provenance of the Qing Emperors and their entourage, including the court officials. Eighty six pieces are with imperial poems or inscriptions, reign marks, imperial and private hall marks and are valuable documentary pieces in the study of Chinese snuff bottles. Published by the Art Museum, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Text in English and Chinese. Hardback.

S.'s collection had been generously donated in the name of Bei Shan Tang to the Art Museum in many batches. Comprising of more than 5,800 items, these gifts form nearly half of the permanent collection of the Art Museum. They are both the core and the highlight of the Museum's collection. This exhibition of The Bei Shan Tang Legacy - Gifts of Chinese Art is a selection of the most important items of the gifts from J. S. They include paintings, calligraphy, calligraphic rubbings, ceramics, jade and hard stone carvings to bronzes, seals, and carvings in bamboo, wood, ivory and bone, inksticks, items for the scholars' studio and furniture. The exhibition, to be installed in all the four galleries of the Art Museum, is a tribute to J. S. for his generosity and lifelong support to the Museum. It is also an unprecedented comprehensive display of the collection which is well known to many by its reputation. But because of the modesty and low profile of J. S. few actually have had a first-hand knowledge of it." excerpt from the introductory text by Peter Y. K. Lam Director, Art Museum, 2009.
