This lot is composed of 3 Chinese Snuff Bottles. One of which is a lovely antique White Jade snuff bottle with finely carved flowering prunus tree decoration carved in relief. This white Jade bottle is, late 19th C. / early 20th C. The bottle had a well carved and hollowed out interior, common to older bottles. This highly collectible White Jade snuff bottle is set with a lovely malachite top with spoon.
The remaining 2 Snuff Bottles in this lot include a wonderful Shadow Agate snuff bottle, in addition to a wonderful Cameo Agate bottle. Both well hollowed with wonderfully carved exteriors utilizing the stones inherent qualities to depict figural compositions including a scholar and attendant figure as well as a figure standing under a tree or in a grotto. One with a wonderful Lapis Lazuli top and the other with a Turquoise top. Both of these bottles are likely 20th C.
All three Snuff Bottles have a spoon fastened to their tops which neatly fits into the well carved interiors.

Original purchase price for the group of 3 $700
Jade snuff bottle with cap: 2 1/4"H
Agate bottle with lapis top: 2 3/4"H
Agate bottle with light blue top: 2 5/8"H

Condition: The spoons and cork keeping them in place are cracking with losses to portions of the cork which could certainly be replaced which would fasten the spoon more securely and if fitted with a slightly thicker piece of cork the tops would fit tightly in place. Although the corks underneath the tops do display age related shrinking and losses this is the easiest part to replace. A carved wine cork would do it. A fine addition to any snuff bottle collection!
