Antique Chinese Inside Painted Hair Crystal Snuff Bottle "Ye Zhongsan" ROC IPSB

About the Item

An antique Chinese inside painted rutile hair crystal snuff bottle, signed "YE ZHONGSAN" (1875-1945), dated "FU RI" (summer day), "BING CHEN" (year matching 1916 on cyclical calendar) The bottle is crafted from gray rock crystal with rutile inclusions in Qing style, carved and hollowed into flattened globular form with everted rim, the edges and bottom finely faceted, and interior painted on both walls with compositions of fish, dated signature and red seal mark. This well hollowed and masterfully inside painted bottle depicts a lively underwater scene with a carp, a minnow, gold fishes and water weeds on one side, with more gold fishes and weeds to verso. The golden rutile hairs further accentuates the painting like natural aquatic grass in the pond, with a jadeite stopper and wooden spoon.
