Subject:Chinese small bottle marks 4
Posted By: Vicky Tue, Dec 17, 2019 IP: 2a02:c7d:da5e:300:a9 Can anyone tell me anything about this bottle and the base mark please? Any other information would also be greatly appreciated. |

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Dec 18, 2019 you don't show a base-mark but the iconography on your snuff bottle includes the "good luck" character "ji" (吉) beneath what resembles an auspicious stone chime that's supported by two lucky carp (among other things regarding carp, fishing is to Buddhists the only respectable occupation that takes the life of a living creature). |

Posted By: Stan Sat, Dec 21, 2019 You don't say what the material of the snuff bottle is (glass?). This is fairly recent (20th century or later) and fairly crudely executed with what appears to be modern rotary tools. Compare with the execution of the fish in our jadeite snuff bottle below. |
