I recently purchased a large collection of Chinese snuff bottles, carved jade, and assorted Asian artifacts from a prominent Maui collector. He said that most of his collection was purchased in the 1960’s and 1970’s and that some of those items were vintage at the time. I am not an expert in Asian artifacts and I am relying on what the collector told me regarding the item descriptions. However, please view the detailed photos to determine the age, origin, condition, characteristics, and authenticity for yourself. The photos speak for themselves.
Amazing older four-color Peking glass Chinese snuff bottle with intricate bird, foliage, and cloud etched designs in three-dimensional relief. The carved birds appear to be a crane or heron. The layered colors are red over yellowish/green over blue over a white base. The bottle has a stable oval base with a small outer lip. There is also a lip at the top of the tapered neck. The stopper lid appears to be a green glass half bead with a short white fabric plug, which fits snuggly in place. I do not see any hallmarks and I do not know how old it is.
I would consider the quality and condition as excellent. Reasonable starting price. Chinese snuff bottles are VERY collectible!
