An Agate rare floating tiger skin pattern snuff bottle

Item Details

Description

Title: An Agate rare floating tiger skin pattern snuff bottle

Origin: China

Date/Period:19th Century

Materials:Agate

Size:Excluded stopper 2.6in (H); 2.2in (W).

Description:Snuff bottles crafted to float on water are primarily made of agate, precious artifacts from the Qing Dynasty. The intricate workmanship involved in carving such small bottles is exceptionally complex and challenging, especially without advanced tools. Firstly, the inner chamber must be hollowed out to be extremely thin, using a curved-tipped carving needle as the tool. During the hollowing process, a small hole is initially created, and then the chamber is carefully excavated bit by bit, with adjustments made to the pressure and bending angle as needed. Even a slight mistake can lead to the bottle breaking. Ultimately, the walls of the bottle become so thin that they are nearly transparent, allowing one to see through the chamber from the outside. The patterns on this particular piece of agate resemble the stripes found on a tiger's skin. Roughly the period of 19th century. Excluded stopper 2.6in (H); 2.2in (W).
