Fine antique Chinese mother of pearl inlay and cloisonné snuff bottle
ABOUT THIS ITEM

Description

I believe this 19th century Chinese snuff bottle is pretty rare as I have not been able to find another mother of pearl snuff bottle decorated with two cloisonné panels online or anywhere else. It has retained its original mother of pearl stopper with its little bone spoon to collect the snuff. Some of the tiny mother of pearl inlays have been etched with a floral pattern and this is mirrored by the flowers and foliage design on the colourful cloisonné panels. The bottle just sparkles! It came from a French estate collection. Size: 7.4 cm x 4.4 cm Weight: 54 grams
