$120.00 

This beautifully cast tin half round circus set is from an antique German mold. The castings are not quite as old as the molds, but they look the same as the antique casts. These sets are halbplastischen [half round]. They are different on both sides but not the full round cast figures that actually came after these early tin figures. They are tin which is an expensive metal that does not tarnish. The set is from Nuremburg [not positive] I have ordered sets from this family several decades ago, ...click for details

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.

$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.

Sold Thank you 

Very attractive carved cameo milk glass snuff bottle. Li dragons and central luck medallion. Some day these young dragons will grow into the powerful ornate dragons of Chinese Myth, for now they are a beautiful design, great colors, blue on brown on white milk glass. Nice coral stopper. This bottle is 2 5/8" tall. A few decades old as the carving shows skill.

Flawless carving. Fine bubble Peking glass. Great colors and design make this a wonderful snuff bottle. A figure on a garden wall on one side and a boy with symbolic figures on a calligraphic symbol. This bottle is 3 1/4" tall. Top is a handcarved Peking glass dragon with a metal spoon. Pictures do not do this piece the justice it deserves.

This is an outstanding piece of work. It if very fine quality pink snowflake Peking galss with ancient block characters, different on both sides. It is 3" tall with a wood spoon and carnelian top. It is hard to say how long some of these very well carved snuff bottles sat before being offered for sale. This one is at least four decades old and probably older. Quality of work is what gives value and this one is top of the line. Snuff bottle prices continue to raise at an alarming rate, I do ...click for details
