Height: 2.5 inches, Width: 1.75 inches

With Malachite Stopper

Qing Dynasty, 1780-1820

 

 

This handsome double paneled snuff bottle is rendered from a deep reddish glass imitating ruby amber. The side panels consist of shallow oval shapes, which served as a dish in which to place the powdered tobacco for inhalation. The bottle is well hollowed which is typical of early glass examples of the early snuff bottle period. The stopper is rendered from malachite.

In our opinion, the subject matter, material and workmanship suggests a Qing Dynasty date for this elegant snuff bottle.

Qing Dynasty, Circa 1790-1840

Chinese workmanship

 

This glass imitating amber snuff bottle demonstrates the high level of workmanship achieved during the snuff bottle period. The interior has been polished out through a rather narrow opening. The color has the deep warmth of amber which it emulates. The stopper consists of amber imitating glass. In our opinion the subject matter, workmanship and glass material suggest a date of 1790-1840 for this excellent snuff bottle.
