Offered in this sale is a pair of antique Chinese stone snuff bottles with original metal spoons that I believe date to the earlier 1900s - Republic period. They are no marked in any way. They measure roughly 4 1/4" tall x 2 1/2" wide x 7/8" thick and weigh nine ounces each. I am not sure what the stone is but believe it may be alabaster. They are not polished. The condition is very good. They do have some base edge roughness.
Please be sure to enlarge and zoom each image for a close up view of the detail of the decoration and condition. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have questions or would like additional images.
I always guarantee everything that I sell to be as described. This lot of two bottles is being sold without a reserve as long as there is an opening bid. The shipping cost within the United States is .00.
