About the Item

This extraordinary hand-carved Turquoise snuff bottle from the 1970s showcases a powerful dragon captured mid-flight, rendered in high relief as it hurls a ball of flames. The stone’s natural black veining adds dynamic movement and depth, echoing the mythic energy of the carving itself. Mined in Arizona and carved in China, the material’s striking blue-green hue and intricate matrix perfectly complement the craftsmanship and symbolic resonance of the dragon — a timeless emblem of power, prosperity, and protection. The bottle’s fitted lid and custom polished wooden base enhance its elegance and balance, making it a singular acquisition for discerning collectors of fine Asian art and meaningful symbolism.
