Old Chinese Ruby Glass Snuff Bottle, 19C.

A Chinese ruby glass facetted snuff bottle of rich colour. This category of bottle is associated with the Imperial workshop though this example I feel is not fashioned well enough to be given an Imperial attribution. The mouth rim is slightly dished. 19th century.

Just a tad over 2 inches (5cm) high. A minuscule fleabite can be seen on the mouth rim, otherwise perfect condition. No stopper.

Often my bottles have no stoppers, if they come with a tacky replacement then I throw it away. This is no great problem as nice stoppers can be fashioned from hardstone beads with vinyl collars, just look at the books on the great collections; vinyl is a much-used word!

I am based in the United Kingdom so charges made to credit cards are in GBP ( British Pounds ) and your credit card issuer automatically converts the charge to the currency of your country. Payment may also be made by direct bank transfer in GBP. International Money Orders or Cashiers’ Checks in GBP are also accepted.
