SALE Crystal Snuff Bottle with Bamboo and Chinese Cranes

Collectibles : Oriental : Chinese : Snuff Bottles

 

This pretty bottle is cut and polished crystal with a red glass or stone cap. The cork is in good condition. The design, different on each side, is reverse-hand-painted on the inside of the bottle. It has nice detail; the cranes are very graceful and artistically rendered. The bottle is 3 1/4" tall, 1 5/8" wide, and 7/8" thick. It probably dates from the 1920's, is probably Chinese (there are no marks), and is in perfect condition.
