A YELLOW AND RUSSET JADE SNUFF BOTTLE
1750-1850
Of rounded rectangular shape with an oval foot ring, short tubular
neck and flat lip, the stone of a pale yellow color with large patches of
russet skin, used to accent the lion mask and mock ring handles on
the shoulders, and on one face carved to form the scene of an official
reaching to replace his hat with one of higher office presented to him
by an attendant, while another attendant holds a bird, the other side
carved with a pavilion borne on clouds rising from the sea, as a crane
with a tally in its beak flies by.
2 3/8in (5.7cm) high
$7,000 - 9,000
