Description

A CARVED AMBER SNUFF BOTTLE
1780 - 1850
Of tapering, rectangular form with shoulders sloping to a cylindrical neck, and with a neatly carved oval footrom, well-hollowed, carved with, on one main side, a tiger prancing on a rock, the reverse with a monk seated before a double gourd, his hands folded in repose, watching a stream of vapor trailing from the gourd, the two narrow sides with mock mask-and-ring handles, stopper. 2 1/4in (5.6cm) high
Footnotes:
1780-1850 琥珀刻舖首啣環鼻煙壺一件

Provenance:
Joan and Ted Dorf Collection, no. 429

Both the material and shape of the bottle work very well with the subject matter on both sides of the bottle. The striped tiger is stealthily climbing over rockwork on one side, while on the other, a monk sits before a double gourd, having released the elixir of immortality.

Condition

Minor mouth polish to the interior; a very finely carved, well-hollowed bottle.
