TWO SMALL QUARTZ SNUFF BOTTLES

The second, 1955-1970, is a citrine bottle of flattened, rounded form with mask and ring handles on the shoulders. The bottle is well hollowed to highlight the pale yellow tone of the stone.

It is unusual to find a rock crystal bottle carved with this formalized lotus petal design. Compact and refined, this bottle is a true miniature.
