PROVENANCE:
Sotheby’s New York, 1997
The material of the present lot is of a superb quality that the brilliance in colour and the fascinating internal patterns show its appeal without the need for further embellishment. Compare with another amber snuff bottle, illustrated in The complete collection of treasures of the palace museum. Snuff bottles. Hong Kong, 2003, pl. 116, p.73.
