A White Pottery Snuff Bottle w/Two Flowers - Qing
February 2013 Auction by Far East Asian Art

This is an interesting Chinese snuff bottle which we date to the middle 19th century, Qing dynasty. The bottle has a very thick and unctuous pure white glaze. On the two flattened sides there are designs of flowers executed in underglaze cobalt blue and red and green .

The flowers are in an star like arrangement. We have no idea what kind of flowers they represent as I have no gardening expertise at all...
