A cranberry-red and white glass chrysanthemum blossom snuff bottle
1750-1800
Of flattened spherical form, with a waisted neck, the flat lip and foot heightened with red overlay rings, carved to either of its main sides with a chrysanthemum blossom with carefully defined concentric petals, set between two faux lion mask-and-ring handles to the narrow sides; the semi-translucent red overlay in attractive contrast to the opaque white ground with a pale yellow tinge.
2 3/16in (5.6cm) high
