Snuff Bottle-Shoushan Stone Foo Dog and Pup
Shipping/Handling: Free
Insurance: Included in shipping
Price for shipping to USA
Here is a Chinese snuff bottle carved of shoushan stone which has been used for serious carving since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Actually, carvings were found in tombs as early as the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Many beautiful and famous carvings originated in Fujian Provence. This snuff bottle has a foo dog, a female I think, standing on a base with a foo pup clinging to her side. The pup's head is carved in the pink area of the stone. The spoon is intact and the bottle is well hollowed. Shoushan is the national stone of China
