The listing, Snuff Bottle Ceramic External Painting Signed has ended.
A "ceremonial" snuff bottle with a specific purpose: to advertise a specific snuff bottle event. Which obviously makes this bottle a much later creation, probably 20th century. Interesting bottle in that it has techniques not found in the much earlier bottles. The elderly man with small boy side, all the important black lines are incised while they are not on the back side. Each bottle tells a story – I'm not sure what story this one is telling. It's 2.25" tall, 1.75" across and 5/8" thick.because of its young age it has its lid, stopper and scoop in tact. Rare to find them in tact on older bottles.
