A WHITE JADE SNUFF BOTTLE1750-1800 Of slightly bulbous, rounded form with a cylindrical neck and a neatly carved inset oval foot, very well-hollowed through a narrow mouth, the white stone left unadorned; stopper. 2 1/2in (6.2cm) high 1750-1800 白玉素面鼻煙壺一件 Provenance: Asian Accents Gallery Acquired October 14, 1995 Joan and Ted Dorf Collection, no. 244 White jade is loved by all Chinese collectors along with the finest emerald-green jadeite bottles. This lovely white jade bottle, deliberately undecorated, and very well-hollowed through a small mouth opening, remains in its simplest form in order to appreciate the stone. This is best done by handling as many years of enjoyment of the bottle has resulted in an almost soft and oily tactile quality.
