The plain circular bottle, of flattened form, is covered overall with a robin’s egg glaze of turquoise and blue speckles, 6.1cm.
The Chinese did not prize porcelain snuff bottles as highly as those in other materials.
As a medium, porcelain is more suited to larger vessels, such as vases and dishes, and it was not thought possible to achieve such a high quality in the small size of a snuff bottle.
Made in Jingdezhen.
