A PLAIN RUBY-PINK GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE, 1740-1800The translucent pink glass around the neck gradually fading into a transparent, bubble-suffused ruby-red body, smooth surface polishChina, 1740-1800This bottle is a plain example from a range of glass bottles in which we find the standard ruby color mixed with colorless glass to the point at which it becomes a pale ruby-pink with a high degree of transparency. Glass of this nature is found most often in a series of octagonal bottles decorated with Buddhist emblems and, usually, fish. These can be confidently designated Imperial, dated to the eighteenth century, and attributed to the Imperial glassworks.Shape: Flattened round shapeHollowing: StandardMouth, neck and lip: Cylindric neck with very wide mouthBase: Oval base with neatly raised Design, marks, school: Imperial glassworks, BeijingStopper: Green glass stopperHeight of the bottle with stopper: 7.1 cm.Width of the mouth: 9 mm.Width of the neck: 16 mm.Weight: 46.4 gramsCondition: PerfectProvenance: American private collectionAuction result comparison: J & J COLLECTION OF SNUFF BOTTLES, PART III.
