offers BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE CHINESE SNUFF BOTTLE...
Hand-Painted inside
Ancient Chinese Snuff Bottle that has been given a new cork stopper with a Ruby Red Glass Rounded Top...It is a MOST ATTRACTIVE piece...Old Silver wraps itself around the base, sides to the top...amazing Lion's Heads on both sides and beautiful carving around the neck of the bottle....
The BEST part is the Minute and Fine detailed hand painting on the inside of the small Bottle.... It only stands about 8 cms tall and about 5 cms across..the back of the bottle has red and black markings which could be the artist's mark ??
The Main front painting inside the bottle is of a VILLAGE SCENE...very beautifully detailed....
A piece to be admired for its intricacy and fine detailed painting...very enjoyable for an avid collector of Chinese painting under glass..
An authority on Chinese Ancient Art has given me the information below...
