About the Item

This mid 20c, 5/6/7 period carved rose quartz snuff bottle is a delicate and exquisite artifact, reflecting the refined aesthetic and skilled craftsmanship of the period. The bottle is carved from a single piece of rose quartz, known for its gentle pink hue that symbolizes love and harmony. The soft translucency of the material gives the bottle a serene, almost ethereal quality. The surface of the bottle is adorned with relief carvings of lotus leaves, a motif rich in symbolism in Chinese culture. The lotus is often associated with purity, enlightenment, and rebirth, as it rises unblemished from muddy waters. The leaves are intricately carved, with attention to the veins and undulations, creating a realistic and dynamic depiction. Complementing the bottle is a matching carved rose quartz stopper, which fits perfectly atop the bottle, continuing the elegant lotus leaf motif. The stopper not only serves to complete the bottle aesthetically but also ensures the contents remain well-contained. This rose quartz snuff bottle, with its harmonious design and symbolic carvings, would have been a treasured item, valued both for its beauty and for the skill required in its creation. Today, it stands as a testament to the artistry of the 5/6/7 period, making it a valuable piece for collectors and admirers of fine Chinese snuff bottles. circa: 1950-1970, early PRoC 5/6/7 period
