Description: Hand blown and carved Peking glass snuff bottle having a snowflake ground and four colors of molten glass applied then carved. Wood stand, 4.25 x 4.25 x 1.5". Reign marks on the base are depicting Qing Dynasty but the piece is late 20th century.

History: A commonly held view postulates that the overall quality of Imperial glassmaking began to decline in the last quarter of the eighteenth century and that thereafter, nothing of any noteworthy significance was produced. This as so many assumptions of the later Qing dynasty could be challenged, however, it is likely that the number of objects could be less then from the earlier periods.
