A GREEN-OVERLAY CLEAR GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE
1780-1850

The transparent green overlay is carved through to the transparent
ground which appears pink from a skim of red on the interior and
which deepens towards the foot of the bottle, with a katydid perched
on a lotus leaf on one side, and a lotus fower emerging from a large
curled lotus leaf on the other side.
2Ω in. (6.3 cm.) high, glass stopper

$1,600-2,400

PROVENANCE:

A. Klein Collection, California.

The technique used to achieve the pink tone of the ground, by applying a
thin skim of red to the interior, is quite rare.
