Product Description
Bottles with interior painting were first made in the
latter part of the nineteenth century.
Snuff bottles are made of a wide variety of materials, coral,
ivory, jade, jadeite, mother of pearl, lapis lazuli, quartz,
malachite, agate, and turquoise as well as gold, silver and other
exotic materials. Despite the number of exotic materials to choose
from, glass is the most popular and most surviving models are made
from this material. The Chinese cut and polished the glass like a
precious stone. When metal oxides were added, the subsequent glass
became an exquisite glass sculpture. The glass for these works
generally originated in Shantung, although the cutting itself was
done in Beijing.
The most charming and truly fascinating Chinese snuff bottles
are those with paintings on the interior walls. These are painted
from the inside after the inside of the bottle is coated with iron
oxide mixed with water. This creates a milky white surface suitable
to take the subsequently applied paint. The scenes were usually
landscapes, flowers, people or animals. These are truly works of
art.
