AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Refined Chinese snuff bottle in engraved glass, of fine craftsmanship.
Elegant Chinese tobacco jar in red glass, finely embossed with a decoration of flying birds made from a darker glass, carefully modeled to create a strong chromatic contrast and remarkable plastic depth. The body, with a rounded and harmonious shape, features glossy surfaces that are perfectly polished, indicating expert craftsmanship.
Observing the style, material, and decorative technique, this snuff bottle could plausibly be associated with the production of one of the following dynasties:


The vast majority of carved glass snuff bottles (especially those with two layers, featuring raised decorations like the birds seen here).

In particular



The bulged shape, red glass, and dark reliefs are fully compatible with this aesthetic.


Accurate and tracked shipping.
