Snuff bottle - Porcelain - Erotic snuffbottle

Chinese famille rose porcelain snuff bottle with moulded relief decoration, dating to the late 19th century.

The bottle is of rounded, flattened form and richly decorated with polychrome enamels in bright famille rose colours.
The decoration features erotic figural scenes in high relief, depicting playful couples in intimate settings within an interior. The figures are modelled in relief and applied onto the surface, creating strong depth and a sculptural effect, further enhanced by vivid enamel colours including iron-red, yellow, green and blue. The surrounding decoration with drapery, furniture and patterned panels adds richness and narrative detail.
The base bears an apocryphal Qianlong mark in iron-red, a common feature on later 19th century pieces and not indicative of the period.
The stopper is present and fixed, with a visible discoloured ring at the neck.

Condition: in very good condition with no cracks or restoration observed. Minor wear consistent with age.
Dimensions: approx. 7 cm height, 5.3 cm width and 3.2 cm depth.
A rare and decorative late 19th century erotic snuff bottle, notable for its relief work and vivid famille rose palette, with strong collector appeal.
