Vintage Red Dragon painted porcelain snuff bottle Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Snuff Bottles: Pre 1970 item# 1188488 (stock# oldred)
click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $48.00
I estimate this bottle to be vintage based on the somewhat crude white porcelain body, the overglaze red painted dragon and the cobalt blue side details. It is small at about 2 1/2". It has no marks. It has a fitting porcelain top with bone spoon. I do not price it high as I am not positive as to how old it is.

Very attractive piece with beautiful carving. The natural malachite graining-matrix does not show in the photographs except for the bottom view but it does have a beautiful matrix in the carving. This is a fine piece of work. It is Chinese and from the "Hong Kong" mark on the bottom of the wood base [inlayed with silver metal], it would be made during the embargo period for Chinese goods, over 40 years ago. It is just under 4" tall with custom made hardwood stand. Perfect conditio ...click for details

Vintage Snowflake glass lucky symbols snuff bottle Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Snuff Bottles: Pre 1970 item# 1142030 (stock# losn)
click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $410.00
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.

Bottom signed. Tigereye stone set in bronze metal spoon and bezel. It is 3 1/4" tall. at least 60 years old, could be older. Very good bottle for a collection.

click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $140.00
Only one factory made these unique snuff bottles. They are hand blown glass, reverse painted and then overglazed with fired on pure gold decoration. Very nice painting and fine glass crafting. This bottle has a metal, glass top with bone spoon. It is about 3 1/4" tall. Wonderful piece for a collection. Please never put liquids in any reverse painted snuff bottle, they are not for perfume, just for decoration. About 30 years old.

Superb Snowflake Peking Glass Snuff Bottle Dragons Catalogue: Vintage Arts: Regional Art: Asian: Chinese: Snuff Bottles: Pre 1980 item# 1105814 (stock# superb)
click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $560.00
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.
