Qing Dynasty - Snuff bottle - High Quality Cloisonné Snuff Bottle with Imperial Dragons Chasing the Flaming Pearl - Agate - Imperial Snuffbottle

A lovely antique Chinese High Quality Cloisonné Snuff Bottle with a decoration of two Imperial Dragons Chasing the Flaming Pearl , made from a very high quality gilded bronze with old enamels caught in a intricate gilded bronze network of gilded bronze veins. Beautiful shape, well hollowed. On the sides two stylized ears in the shape of two Lion Heads. Original stopper. On the bottom an old label with possibly a four character mark of the Qianlong emperor underneath. We found an exact copy once with this mark in blue, we don't want to inspect so leave that up to you. From a noble Dutch private collection, collected between 1920-1940. Height: 7,6 centimeter Condition: The object is in good condition. Without any damages or restorations, except for some wear on the gilding and on the bottom enamel (see pictures). The ivory spoon is missing due to the customs. The condition is carefully checked with strong UV-light and bright translucent white light. Shipping method: This lot will be securely packed and shipped with insurance. Buy multiple lots from this seller and save on shipping costs, for multiple lots you’ll pay the shipping costs only once.
