A famille rose enameled white glass snuff bottle
Qianlong mark, attributed to Ye Bengqi, 1930's
Of rounded rectangular form, with a flat lip and a waisted neck, supported on a neatly carved oval foot rim, the body finely painted in famille rose enamels with a continuous scene of peony and bamboo springing from a rocky outcropping with yellow-breasted birds and a butterfly, the collar encircled by a series of sapphire blue stylized lingzhi heads below a puce enamel scrolling vine border at the neck, with carved fixed ring mask handles also enameled, the recessed base with an apocryphal four-character Qianlong nianzhi mark in blue enamel.
