Rare Shape Chinese Cloisonne Triangular Snuff Bottle Hand Enameled, 19thC Qing
About the Item
This is a very good example of a small rare shaped triangular Chinese snuff bottle, made from cloisonne´ with hand enamelled decoration depicting various floral designs and complete with its original chained stopper, all dating to the 19th century Qing period, circa 1850.
This bottle has a rare triangular shape with its original stopper which is attached to the bottle by a short chain.
The main decoration depicts three different floral scenes, one on each face, where one face also has Chinese writing and other motifs against a burnt orange enamel background. There is also a border pattern to the shoulder and upper section.
This is a most unusual small 19th century piece, finely decorated and quite different to other snuff bottles we have seen previously.
Notes:
There is a possibility that this piece could have been used as a scent or perfume bottle but we consider it was a snuff bottle. Either way it is a fine and unusual piece.

- Tall Chinese Porcelain Bottle Vase Sapphire Blue 6 Char Mk, Late 19thC QingLocated in Lincoln, LincolnshireThis is a very beautiful, highly decorative Tall Chinese bottle vase with a monochrome or single glaze colour of a fine sapphire-blue, which we date to the late 19th century, Qing period . This Chinese Export vase is well potted on a fairly tall foot, having a globular body, with a long cylindrical stick neck. On close inspection the glaze has a beautiful finely speckled texture, the depth of colour draining from the top rim where it is slightly lighter to a darker shade at the foot where the glaze thickens. The foot rim is well hand cut with an orange coloured iron oxide ring just above the foot rim and below the glaze, where the air hit the porcelain in the kiln. This is a heavy vase weighing about 2.75 Kg unpacked. The blue is a superb shade of dark sapphire / steel /dark sky blue colour. The inner neck area and centre of the base are also glazed. The base carries a hand painted six figure apocryphal Qing Kangxi ( 1662 to 1722) mark but this piece dates to the late 19th Century, in the later part of the Qing Dynasty. These single colour monochrome vases are often small with heights of about 7 or 8 inches but this is a much larger piece measuring well over 14 inches in height. Its elegant form, reminiscent of the traditional Guanyin vases...Category
