- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Qing Dynasty to Republic period, ca. late 19th to mid 20th century CE. A charming pair of glass and stone bottles with removable silver lids and attached spatula scoops. Both bottles are a petite size with rounded and thick bodies that rest on flat bases. The smaller is comprised of brilliant red and yellow marbled glass with a 95% silver rim and a bovine bone spatula attached to the stopper. The orange piece inlaid on the top, may be an old replacement for a stone or coral piece that once adorned the lid. The other bottle is comprised of a creamy beige quartz stone and features two stylized maskette faces on the sides. The lid has a 96% silver rim and spatula with a coral stone inlaid on the top. Snuff bottles such as these would contain powdered tobacco to use as a medicinal remedy. Size of large bottle: 1.75" W x 2.75" H (4.4 cm x 7 cm); small bottle: 1.675" W x 2.375" H (4.3 cm x 6 cm)
