    Vintage Japanese/Chinese Reverse Hand Painted Very Colorful Snuff Bottle, signed, 3 ⅝” tall
    I am a collector not an expert.
    I will make every attempt to properly and accurately describe this piece and its condition.
    All PICs are original and of the item you are bidding on or purchasing.
    If I have missed something, you have any questions, or you would like additional PICs… please contact me prior to purchase.
    DESCRIPTION
    3 ⅝” tall
    x 2” wide x ¾” deep
    For your consideration… this is an exceptionally well done well-done colorful and detailed hand painted Japanese snuff bottle.
    The bottle itself is a clear glass, frosted inside and on the bottom inset.
    The top is light green color (perhaps true jade?).
    The spoon is present.
    The artists signature is located on the upper left of both painted scenes.
    Side 1 is a single geisha standing in a garden in full splendor.
    Side 2 shows two figures… perhaps a maiko (geisha apprentice) helping the geisha prepare herself.  The bottle is empty.
    Signature:
    I will continue to investigate the signature and if these markings (Kanji?) provide any additional information. There is a story being told… just need to figure out what it is…
    CONDITION
    There are two scratches on one of the sides (with two figures) (see PIC#s 3 and 11).
    There are a couple of flea bites and display scratches but no chips, cracks, or repairs.
    The cork has come apart from the top.
    I have not tried to remove it from the bottle nor have I tried to re-glue the cork to the top opting to show the true current condition.
    Also, the spoon is present and attached to the cork however the cork is flush with the top and will not be easily removed.
    The tip can be seen in PIC #10 in the cork.
    Please see all PICs and judge the condition for yourself.
    I apologize for the LED lighting reflections.
