A TOURMALINE SNUFF BOTTLE WITH PEONY DESIGN
QING DYNASTY |
Carved from a single block of tourmaline, the snuff bottle features a translucent pink and takes on the appearance of a flask - a straight mouth, a short neck, abundant shoulders, an oval shape that closes downwards, and a flat bottom. Through bas-relief carving techniques, the entire body is provided with the form of peonies in full bloom. A bird perches among the flowers and leaves, inspiring wonderful associations with wealth and happiness. |
