AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
We offer a splendid Chinese tobacco snuff bottle, a testament to the ancient and refined artisanal tradition of hard stone carving. The piece is in excellent condition and is characterized by a warm veined yellow tone that lends prestige and depth to the work.
The body of the snuff bottle is finely worked in bas-relief, presenting flowing decorative motifs that enhance its harmonious shape and the natural texture of the material. The object is accompanied by its original stopper, with a spatula used for tobacco, an element of extreme fragility that, in this specimen, has remained intact over time.
minor damage to the lid
bottle measurements: H 7 cm x L 4 cm
