拍品描述
A SUPERB AGATE SNUFF BOTTLE, PROBABLY IMPERIAL, OFFICIAL SCHOOL, 1750-1850

China. Well hollowed, raised on a short oval foot and surmounted by a tall cylindrical neck, the shoulders finely carved with beast masks suspending mock-ring handles. The stone is of a dark honey tone with an attractive irregular pattern of pale and dark gray, amber, and brown markings.

Provenance: From a private estate in New York city, United States.
Condition: Good condition with expected old wear, light surface scratches, little nibbling to the mouth, several natural fissures and corresponding minuscule losses.

Stopper: Coral, carved spoon (Please note that we cannot send the stopper outside of the European Union)
Weight: 60 g
Dimensions: Height including stopper 68 mm. Diameter neck 19 mm and mouth 7 mm.

Expert’s note:
The mask-and-ring handles bring this bottle into the category of relief carving. They are of the most common style of the eighteenth century. It falls into the category of banded-agate bottles, which were a common type for probably a considerable part of the snuff-bottle period.
