Great quality and fine carving. You see a fire Dragon with pearl snuff bottle. It is hand carved bone, quality of bone gives it an ivory look, but it is much less expensive. This piece is about 2 1/8" tall. The quality is that of fine ivory, which puts it far above most bone carvings. It is a great piece at a really great price.

Each time I contact my select carvers, I find choices are down and prices are up. Take advantage of this piece as when it is gone I do not expect to find others of this quality,at this pric ...click for details

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.

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

$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.

A rare and beautiful liquor decanter "Made in Italy for Luxardo 1969" on bottom. Fine detailed porcelain with elegant glazing. Great sculpting and details. This piece is in excellent condition and is 11" tall. Could hold flowers or serve as decoration because it does not really look like a decanter of spirits.
