Five Outstanding Interior Painted Chinese Snuff Bottles Including Exceptionally Unsual Japanese War Subject. Five (5) outstanding interior painted Chinese snuff bottles. All boast wonderful detail but the stand out is a most unsual bottle of a Japanese pilot and WWII themes. Standing 3½" tall with jadeite top and scoop, one side boasts a magnificently painted Japanese pilot astride his bomber saluting, the obverse shows an Imperial Naval Japanese crewman saluting his planes in flight with a warship in the distance. Also included is a vintage bottle with an older Chinese scholar with text on the obverse, a mystically themed illustration of a woman playing a reed flute astride a giant carp with the obverse having her with a pair of deer and cart of fruit, with the last two bottles having idlyllic mountain village scenes with very pleasing bluish and soft green tones enhanced by their soft green jadeite top or blue glass top. All bottles in excellent condition with three having scoops. Estimate Value $500 - UP
