A MOTTLED GREEN JADEITE SNUFF BOTTLE
1850-1900
The flattened bottle carved to one side with a figure making his way
through a craggy landscape towards a female immortal holding a
basket, standing on a flowering tree branch raft, the verso carved
with a poet on a donkey crossing a bridge under an overhanging
cliff, leading toward a bare tree issuing from rocks; all against a key-
fret ground, the apple green matrix mottled with russet and grayish
lavender patches.
2 3/8in (6.1cm) high

$2,000 - 3,000
