Collection of Six Beautiful and Unsual Snuff Bottles Including Green Stone and Mother of Pearl. Interesting collection of unusual snuff bottles boasting great visual appeal: 1.) The tallest bottle is 3¼" and made of heavily carved porcelain and brick colored glaze boasting a phoenix on one side and a five fingered dragon on the obverse with agate top with scoop with metal trim at neck and top. Also included are 2.) a simple, elegant bottle in green hardstone and greenish black hardstone top and scoop. 3.) a beautiful bottle of mother of pearl with geometric designs along sides and shoulders with high relief birds on one side and a fantastical flying beast on the obverse, with a mother of pearl top with scoop. 4.) a delicately painted glass bottle that at first look appears made of cloissoné but in fact intricately painted designs that when held to the light appear as if stained glass windows; gorgeous work with jadeite top and scoop. 5.) extremely intricate Tibetan style brass snuff bottle with astonishing scroll work accented with turquoise, carnelian and large carved tiger's eye medallions on both sides and have a carnelian top with scoop. 6.) three hinged medicinal metal snuff bottles with figural reliefs, screw tops with two of the three still having original scoops.
