Subject:Guangxu Moulded Porcelain Snuff Bottle Four Character Mark
Posted By: Kevin Donnelley Sat, Jun 13, 2020 IP: 69.127.29.1


Moulded boy with flute porcelain snuff bottle, w/hand painted scrolling lotus foliate, yellow ground of the robe. A favored pattern for painters of moulded figural bottles of the 19th early 20th C, w/ two examples provided in the links.Each showing some differences in comparisons to the painting styles. The final example for reference, shows a similar red four character mark on a pair of yellow ground vases


1875-1908

H: 3 1/8" (including stopper); 7.93cm
