Title: Glass inside-painted moms-children guided snuff bottleOrigin: ChinaDate/Period:20th CenturyMaterials:GlassSize:Excluded stopper 3.5in (H); 1.6in (W).Description:This glass snuff bottle with inner painting does not have a signature from the inner painter. Based on its style, it is believed to be a late Qing dynasty work. It is a rare find as it is an old square-shaped interior-painted snuff bottle, and its value as a collectible is unquestionable. During that time, there was a high demand for interior-painted snuff bottles, both for domestic use and for export to earn foreign exchange. Many master painters also took on apprentices to pass down their skills. It is speculated that some of the apprentices, after becoming proficient in painting, would sign their own names on the artwork if they believed it could represent their master's intentions. This particular piece might have been overlooked in that regard. Nonetheless, the interior painting beautifully depicts scenes of social interactions among mothers, children at play, and the serene tranquility of nature with birds chirping and flowers blooming. Additionally, the snuff bottle's cushion is custom-made from hardwood to fit its size and shape. Excluded stopper 3.5in (H); 1.6in (W).
