Chinese Enamel On Swirl Glass Snuff Bottle Carps Koi Fish Lotus Jade Stopper 20c

About the Item

Introducing a vibrant piece of late 20th-century craftsmanship, this snuff bottle stands as a fine example of the period's artistry. The bottle, exhibiting a pleasing globular form, is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, offering a tactile delight with its smooth and symmetrical structure. The white swirl glass that forms the body serves as a dynamic canvas, showcasing two lively carps in a spirited display. In Chinese culture, carps symbolize prosperity and good fortune, and their energetic portrayal here brings a touch of vivacity and color to the piece, creating a visual that is both engaging and harmonious. Adding a note of luxurious refinement is the jade cabochon stopper, a beautiful complement to the vibrant enamel artwork. This exquisite stopper not only adds a touch of elegance but also brings a harmonious balance to the piece, with the cool, smooth jade juxtaposing beautifully against the swirling patterns of the glass. At the bottom within the footring, a four-character Qianlong mark is enamelled in cobalt blue, serving as a seal of authenticity and a nod to the skilled craftsmanship of the Imperial works of the Qing era. This snuff bottle, with its spirited imagery and thoughtful details, is a delightful representation of late 20th-century artistry, promising to be a radiant addition to any collection, embodying the lively spirit and artistic innovation of its time. weight: 113 Grams circa: 1990, late 20th Century
