TWO CARVED GLASS SNUFF BOTTLES
1736-1840
The red-overlay, bubble-suffused glass bottle, 1736-1800, is finely carved with a coiled carp below a string of bubbles. The blue-overlay clear glass bottle, attributed to Li Junting, probably Yangzhou, 1800-1840, is of flattened, rectangular form and carved on one side with Li Tieguai seated and leaning against his gourd from which emerges bats, while a crane supporting Shoulao flies overhead. The breast of the crane is subtly accented by an area of pale pink mottling. The reverse is carved with a crane perched on a rock formation and gazing towards an old man riding a mule and an attendant. A small oval seal above reads xianpin (work of immortal).
2 7/8 and 2½ in. (7.2 and 6.3 cm.) high, glass stopper, jadeite and silver stopper (2)
