Height:7.9cm(3.11in)Width:4.6cm(1.81in)Weight:90g(0.198lb)This snuff bottle is crafted with natural crystal base and overlaid red glass carving technique. It has a small mouth, short neck and plump flattened oval body. Bright red glass is overlaid on the exterior surface, carved with combined kui-dragon patterns forming the Chinese character "Shou" (longevity). The dragon lines are elegant and forceful, flanked by beast-head handles. The base is decorated with overlaid chrysanthemum petal carving. It is fitted with a copper threaded rim and a yellow amber-like round knob lid. The crystal body is translucent with vivid red overlay, creating striking color contrast. Overlaid glass carving was a classic craft of the Qing imperial court. Integrating kui-dragon and longevity symbol, it carries the auspicious meaning of blessing for long life. With exquisite carving and mild patina, it is a fine example of Qing overlaid glass snuff bottle.
