Subject:Small bottle
Posted By: Adam Sat, Jul 10, 2010 IP: 81.178.137.49

What is this - a snuff bottle? Is it genuine? is it modern?

It's really quite small but very detailed. Any info would be appreciated.

It's a snuff bottle with apocryphal Ming mark of Xuande (1426-35). The enamels and nuances of painting style suggest to me a late Qing-to-Republic date (circa 1890-1920). Here's another stylistically similar dragon motif on the larger surface of a bowl with different mark that I've seen on Guangxu ware dated cyclically to 1906.

Best regards,

Bill H.

This is a late 19th Century snuff bottle. It is charming. Tonzhi period(1862-1875)
