A beautiful vintage snuff bottle. Yellow snowflake Peking glass. 5 color overlay. Lucky symbols abound on this very good bottle. Beautiful carved blue glass top with moth pattern. These good bottles continue to go up in price. They have not been carved this well in decades, they never will be again. I find rapid increases in snuff bottle prices, and rapid decline in the quality of newer work. This bottle in an investment, better than anything on the market today. It is about 3 1/4" tall.

Please never put liquids in any reverse painted snuff bottle, they are not for perfume, just for decoration. About 30 years old.

A wonderful piece of art to look at. This is a tiny bubble snowflake Peking glass snuff bottle. Green dip then white, then carved back is a subtle abstract dragon pattern. Prices are exploding on snuff bottles, and the good ones like this one are quite hard to find. Note I do not sell this as antique at thousands of dollars like some dealers might, but this one will be worth much more than I now ask for it in a very short period of time.
