Qing Dynasty, Late 19th or Early 20th Century. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Height: 72 millimeters(2 7/8 inches) including stopper) Breadth: 41 millimeters(1 2/3 inches) Thickness: 26 millimeters(1+ inches) CONDITION: Exceptionally good. Almost perfectly preserved. A little wear consistent with any household item which is 100 years old. Not flawless, but certainly in an excellent state of preservation. Stopper intact. DETAIL: A very cute. Splendidly preserved bone and horn snuff bottle so wonderfully characteristic of late Qing Dynasty artwork. It was entirely crafted by hand, from the cutting and polishing of the bone vessel and dyed horn base and top, to the fine engraving and painting. The snuff bottle is entirely intact, and the condition of the snuff bottle, including the intact stopper, is virtually perfect. There is of course a little minor wear- we're not saying it is as when new. But this is as good as one can reasonably expect of a bone snuff bottle somewhere around 100 years old. It's not perfect, but it is about as close to perfect as you will ordinarily find of an authentic 19th(or early 20th) century snuff bottle like this, and there are no repairs. Of course realistically one would expect some blemishes of a personal article such as this after being used for a century, and there are no surprises here except that there are so few blemishes. There are a few blemishes. Again really not noticeable, and quite typical of hand-crafted snuff bottles of the late Ming Qing Dynasty.

Neolithic Hongshan Nephrite ... moreJade Huge Alien Powerful Statue Totem Carving The approximate size: 6"Height) 2.5"Width)2.5"Depth) Material: Old Jade Historical Period: late Neolithic Net Weight: 593 grams The Chinese regard carved jade objects as intrinsically valuable. And they metaphorically equate jade with human virtue due to its solidity, durability and(moral) beauty. Many countries boast a jade ware culture. But none of them can match China's long jadeware history. In China, jadeware underwent a long process of development beginning from the New Stone Age 10,000 years ago.The patterns of China's jadeware have rich connotations, revealing strong, auspicious colors. Bats and gourds were used as subjects for more than 100 patterns because the Chinese words"bat" and"gourd" sound like"good fortune" in Chinese. When a bat was carved on an ancient coin with a hole, it meant that fortune was at hand; bats coupled with birthday peaches referred to fortune and longevity; bats mixed with sika, birthday peaches and magpies were also considered good omens. These beliefs reflected the ancient Chinese people's yearning for a happy life and revealed the essence of China's traditional culture. Jade in China is varied and can be divided into two categories: hard and soft jade. Good materials provide a strong basis for jadeware carving. But the value of a jade object depends on the skills and reputation of the craftsman, date of carving, peculiar modeling and the owner's status. Certainly, different people will have various views on the value of the same jade object. It is difficult to have a unanimous standard. Bid it with confidence!
