Cute buggy eyed three leg toad spits coins. He brings luck in the form of wealth. This very detailed Yi Xing, brown iron clay-porcelain snuff bottle is about 2 3/4" tall. Excellent sculpting by hand, signed piece. A great novelty snuff bottle, with carnelian and bone spoon. Please note that overseas shipping from USA has had a dramatic price increase. You can also see my non listed snuff bottles at Good, Better, Best antiques in Alameda CA and at Collectors Choice Antiques in Lafayette CA.

Spectacular carving can be seen in this Mammoth Ivory Rose Snuff Bottle. Mammoth ivory is from a long extinct animal tusk, it is not endangered and legal. This piece has been carved by a very skilled artist. It is not old, but it is evidence that there are still fine carvers alive and well in China. You see a rose with two very delicate insects. The pictures speak for them self, an outstanding piece of art. It is about 2 1/4" tall.Great pieces increase in value, this one will do just that.
