Lot 754
Collection of Eight Snuff Bottles Including One of Chalcedony, One of Mother of Pearl, One Tibetan and Three Interior Painted Bottles. Nice collection of seven Chinese (and one Tibetan) snuff bottles. The standout of this lot is one bottle of carved chalcedony (the greyish bottle mottled brown glass top) that boasts beautifully carved relief of birds, floral motifs and a curious cat looking up. The designs completely surround the bottle and the quality is quite fine. Measuring 3" x 2" bottle is topped with vintage glass top of browns with original scoop. Also three interior painted glass bottles one boasts a heron on one side and a rooster on obverse with replacement top and scoop, the second quail in a floral setting with an idyllic mountain scene on obverse and a third glass bottle with nice details on each side with a single color of black ink mountain scene, possibly a transfer of exceptional detail, green glass top and no scoop. Also a light tan glass bottle with red glass top and scoop, a white porcelain bottle with aqua top painted on both sides with men in traditional robes, and a small Tibetan style metal snuff bottle with small carnelian cabochons at center on both sides. Finally a lovely vase shaped bottle of layered and carved mother of pearl with mother of pearl top and scoop that boasts wonderful craftsmanship. Estimate Value $500 - UP
