Lot Essay

It is extremely rare to find jadeite bottles so exceedingly well hollowed. For two other examples of more globular shape, see Hugh Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Hong Kong, 1995, vol. I, Jade, pp. 442-443 and 446-447, nos. 173 and 175
