* Note Snuff bottles became popular in China during the Qianlong reign, Qianlong's reign was after his predecessor Yongzheng and therefore the bottle bears an apocryphal reign mark and likely dates to the later Qing dynasty.
- Lastly, the third snuff bottle is also underglaze blue and white decorated. The bottle stands on a circular foot ring with a cylindrical body. The body is decorated with lush floral and foliate motifs.
1 3/4"j
Condition: The double gourd bottle has a cap but no spoon, the baluster bottle has a chipped cap, and broken spoon which is concealed within and doesn't detract from the bottle. The reign mark underfoot has a stain overtop which can be seen in the lot images. The third bottle has a carved stone cap that is slightly larger than the mouth. Overall a lovely lot of nicely presented snuff bottles.
