Description from the seller
Offered an exclusive snuffbottle from a private collection. The photos give a good and realistic depiction of the condition and color of the object. The most recently added photos of the snuffbottle with the white background were taken under daylight conditions.
The snuffbottle has several inclusions on the shoulder and side of the snuffbottle, and there is also a bruise visible at the mouth. All these factors are well captured in clear photos that have been added to the lot.
The snuffbottle is oval in shape and made of rock crystal. Finished with a braided pattern, pink stopper and refined spoon.
