Likely Imperial, Important Chinese Red Overlay Glass Snuff Bottle. Likely imperial glasswork, Beijing 1750-1820. Of flattened form, with single overlay of ruby red glass on a bubble suffused ground, the white opaque glass overlaid with double-gourd design (meaning "luck and happiness with you all life"). Compare with a similar bottle, illustrated on "Glass Snuff Bottles by Simon Kwan, The Muwen Tang Collection Series"). Figure 233 Page 322. Another same double-gourd Patten bottle, illustrated on "Snuff Bottles From China, The Victoria and Albert Museum Collection by Helen White". Plate 78, Pg. 172. See More
