Chinese Cinnabar Red Glass Overlay Snuff Bottle Mandarin Duck Lotus Jade 20c ROC

About the Item

Experience the allure of this Republic period snuff bottle, a vibrant piece that embodies the rich artistic tradition of the time. Crafted with a deep red glass overlay, well imitating the unique color of cinnabar, on milk white ground that serves as a canvas for the detailed carvings that grace its surface. Central to its design are mandarin ducks amidst lotus blossoms and leaves, a revered symbol of love and marital harmony in Chinese culture. The shoulders of the bottle feature intricate "taotie" (mask beast) motifs and ring handles, adding a layer of cultural depth and intrigue to the piece. Completing this exquisite bottle is a fixed jade cabochon stopper, adding a touch of elegance and a harmonious contrast to the vibrant red overlay. Positioned on a delicately carved, slightly raised footring, this snuff bottle stands as a cherished relic of the early 20th Century Republic of China period, promising to be a standout addition to any collection. weight: 54 Grams circa: 1910-1930, early 20th Century, ROC period
