A FAMILLE ROSE ENAMELED PORCELAIN SNUFF BOTTLE
1821-1900 |
This is an elliptic snuff bottle with a round foundation. A transparent glaze covers the entire body, while both sides feature an even more colorful pallet of glaze. A grasshopper is painted on both sides, each with their own pose. The delicate brushwork and vivid colors make this a meticulous work of art that is sketched from nature. |
