Large Chinese Inside Painted Glass Snuff Bottle Water Margin IPSB Ya Qin c.2009

About the Item

This remarkable glass snuff bottle, crafted by the esteemed artist Ya Qing in the spring of 2009, is a masterful example of inside painting. The bottle showcases an intricate depiction of the 108 warrior figures from Liang Mountain, as immortalized in the classic Chinese novel "水浒" (Water Margin). Each character is meticulously rendered in a unique pose, capturing the essence of this iconic tale. Adding to the bottle's allure are the beast and ring taoties—traditional Chinese motifs—carved in relief on the shoulders. The bottle is elevated on a finely carved footring, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The artist's signature, "Ya Qin," along with the date "Yi Chou Nian Chun Ri" (2009 Spring Day), together with a red seal mark, authenticates this exceptional work of art. circa: 2009
