Footnotes:
1750-1860 水晶素面鼻煙壺一件

Provenance:
Arts of China, May 1987
Joan and Ted Dorf Collection, no. 126

Like plain, white jade, this flawless crystal bottle was left unadorned by the maker and is aesthetically in its simplest form allowing its owner to appreciate the stone. Its simplicity belies its manufacturing process as it is hollowed out rather than being blown, like glass. It takes an understanding of what has been removed to appreciate the beauty of what remains.
Condition
A clear, flawless stone, brilliantly hollowed out, with a strong oval foot rim. Light-weight and elegant.
