Chinese Export Snuff Bottle of Natural Agate Stone Spoon Top, circa 1930

About the Item

This is a very beautiful Chinese Export snuff bottle with a rare hand carved shape, complete with its matching top and made from natural agate stone, having lovely veined colors, which we date to the mid 20th century, Circa 1940. The bottle has a beautifully carved unusual curved triangular shape and is very tactile. This striking bottle is hand carved from natural agate which has superb veined detail within the stone, with a lovely mix of muted colors, all in different shades. The bottle is hand polished and is very smooth and tactile. The bottle has also a hand carved country scene including birds and trees , which is very finely done and not easy to see. The bottle has an inside opening to the top with its matching stone agate top which carries a spoon. We date this piece to the mid 20th century, circa 1940.
