This is a Qing Dynasty Period, 18th/19th Century Five-color layered Glass Snuff Bottle depicting Chinese Auspicious Objects. Its form and the use of its color resemble those used during the 18th century, in a manner similar to those shown in item 237, page 74 of the book "The Collector's Book of Snow Bottles" by Bob C. Stevens. Another reference is lot 158 of the Mary and George Bloch Snuff Bottle Collection that was sold on 01 June 2015 at Sotheby's, Hong Kong, for HKD$100,000, or the equivalent of $12,500 (photo #8). It comes with a rose crystal stopper. This bottle is small enough to be considered a miniature small bottle. The outstanding bottle is in remarkable preserved condition.
