Items above include suggestions and sponsored listings. |
White glass made to imitate jade, good condition.
Diameter: 3 3/8 in. ext., 2 5/8 in. int.
Rose-pink glass in good condition.
Diameter: 3 ½ in. ext., 2 ¾ in. int.
Skillfully painted on the interior with a scene of a mountainous landscape with waterfalls and scholars’ residences, loosely in the manner of the late Ming/early Ching artist, Wang Jian.
The transparent glass is slightly grayish in tone and the vase’s interior has been evenly ground to create a frosted background to the painting. The artist was probably a professional snuff bottle painter.
Interior painting is completely intact...
