A GLASS OVERLAY SNUFF BOTTLE 1800sYangzhou School. 1820-1880. Cinnabar-red overlay on opaque turquoise-blue glass, carved in light relief, with neatly incised details.Provenance: American private collection.Condition: Perfect.Stopper: Agate cabochon on black platelet.Weight: 25.6 grams.Dimensions: Height including stopper 66 mm. Diameter neck 12 mm and mouth 7 mm. The composition is well balanced and powerful, with confident use of a strong contrast in colors. Both sides show five bats surrounding the shou sign in the center. A fairly good sign of the quality of this bottle is the reasonable control of the overlay color on the foot rim, which, while appearing almost faultless on the outside, ‘bleeds’ into the foot inside. Compare with a bottle from the same group, showing a 'Zhong Kui' motif, in SNUFF BOTTLES FROM THE MARY AND GEORGE BLOCH COLLECTION, Part V, Bonham’s, 27 May 2012, Hong Kong, lot 59.十八世紀料器玻璃鼻烟壺 揚州料器，1820-1880。朱紅色淺雕五隻蝙蝠，不透明綠松石料器，極其生動。 來源：美國私人收藏品相：完美瓶蓋：瑪瑙頂，黑蓋片重量：25.6 克尺寸：含蓋總高66 毫米；頸部直徑12 毫米 ；嘴 7 毫米
