A rare early Chinese glass snuff-bottle, Kangxi
An early 'crizzled' glass bottle, exceptionally and unusually very finely diamond-point engraved with foliage. 52mm high. Kangxi, 1662-1722.

Early crizzled glass snuff bottles are known, but I have not seen another with this high quality etching. A small Imperial glass dish from the Shorenstein collection, dated to Kangxi and also engraved in diamond point, was sold at Christie's Hong Kong, sale 2831, lot 2913. Provenance: Christie's London 1993.
