LOT NUMBER 19
Chinese Blue and White Snuff Bottle circa 1900
A Chinese Blue and White snuff bottle of flattened rectangular form with a short round neck slightly flaring at the top, decorated on each side with boys, one writing on a tablet with a brush and two playing together, the sides with lotus petals and the base glazed inside an unglazed foot. The style of decoration, which is not without a naif charm, suggests late nineteenth century work and the paste of the foot rim does not conflict with this, indeed it could be a bit earlier. Similar pieces are found, usually more coarsely potted and painted, and were probably made for the local market rather than export to the West. Doubtless originally fitted with a stopper, perhaps with an attached spoon, this piece is still an amusing and decorative item for the collector.| Size: | Ht 7.5 cm; width 4.5 cm; depth 2.3 cm |
| Weight: | 60 gm |
| Date: | 1900 |
| Condition: | Excellent condition; lacking an original (?glass) stopper |
| Estimate: | £20 – 30 |
