The combination of cinnabar-red fragments rolled into a black ground is extremely unusual. For a black glass snuff bottle with a single splash of cinnabar-red on each side see Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 5, Part 1, Glass, Hong Kong, 2002, pp. 136-7, no. 702.
