拍品資料及來源
This rare bat-form bottle seems to fit into the group of superbly carved, very well hollowed animal-form bottles represented by further bottles from the Bloch collection, sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 28th May 2010, lot 19; 23rd November 2010, lot 113; and 25th May 2011, lot 118. Although the material has prominent grey flecking throughout the stone, which is unusual for the group, the material is otherwise rather similar, as are the quality of the carving, degree of hollowing, soft matt polish, and the fact that the mouth of the bottle is drilled straight through the detailing of the bat's mouth.
