TWO JADEITE SNUFF BOTTLES19th/20th century
The first of mottled green jade, the surfaces unadorned to best display the attractive white, apple and emerald green mottling; the second of lavender jade, the sides carved in relief with a continuous scene of a bird perched on a rock beside a prunus tree, the rocky ground encasing the oval foot ring, the pale purple stone with white streaks.
2 1/4in (5.6cm) high, the taller (２).注脚Provenance:
