Description:
A PLAIN RUBY-PINK GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE
China, 1740-1800. The translucent pink glass around the foot gradually fading into a transparent, bubble-suffused ruby-red body, smooth surface polish.
Provenance: From the collection of Ernst Michel (deceased 1949), an architect working in Germany in the first half of the 20th century and involved with Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus Movement.
Condition: Excellent condition with only minor wear. One nibble to lip smoothened.
Stopper: Translucent pink crystal cabochon
Weight: 42.6 grams including stopper
Dimensions: Height including stopper 66 mm. Diameter neck 16 mm and mouth 6 mm
This 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. These can be confidently designated Imperial, dated to the eighteenth century, and attributed to the Imperial glassworks.
