About the Item

This vintage Chinese snuff bottle from the Republic of China period is a charming example of famille rose porcelain, renowned for its soft, pastel hues. The bottle is hand-painted with a delightful scene of birds amidst a lush garden, complete with trees and blossoms. This imagery evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature, typical of Chinese artistic themes. The garden scene is intricately detailed, showcasing the skill and precision of the artist. The birds are depicted in a lively and naturalistic manner, set against a backdrop of blooming flowers and foliage, which adds depth and vibrancy to the design. The base of the bottle features an apocryphal four-character enameled blue Qianlong mark within the footring. While this mark suggests a nod to earlier periods or styles, it is a common feature in Republic-era porcelain, often used to pay homage to the artistic traditions of the past. The combination of the delicate famille rose painting and the historical mark makes this snuff bottle a fascinating piece for collectors and admirers of Chinese porcelain. It reflects the continued tradition of exquisite craftsmanship and artistic expression during the modern PRoC period. circa: 1980-1990 late 20th Century
