About the Item

A Cinnabar-red Overlay White Glass Snuff Bottle, 19th century. The flat oval white glass bottle has a thinn overlay of opaque dense red glass resembling cinnabar lacquer and deeply carved away in a cinnabar style to reveal a scholar’s studio with a footed vase with flower arrangement, teapot with a bird on top and a low table on one side, the other with a scene of a fish drum(token symbol of the immortal Zhang Guo Lao), Xiangqi game board with playing-piece containers, books and scrolls. The raised oval foot ring made of the same red glass. The stopper of a halved turquoise bead and two vinyl collars attached to a cork. Evidence that the ivory spoon has been removed. Condition: Fine. Overall size: 2.75 in. high 1.625 in. wide x 0.875 in. deep (7 x 4.2 x 2.2 cm). Weight: 2.1 oz. (61g.) 19th century. Provenance: Doyle New York, Asian Works of Art 3/22/2023, from lot 41. Note: Part of the charm of this particular bottle is the rough style of carving of the items depicted. This style is very similar in technique to the carving of cinnabar lacquer.
