A CARVED YELLOW GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE
China, 18th-19th century. Semi-translucent and of superb egg-yolk color. The oval body carved in high relief around the sides with two chilong. Recessed base and oval foot rim.

The design, well controlled, features lively dragons amid swirling clouds. It falls into that rare category of relief carving where, if one visualizes peeling off the relief, the remaining surface would be almost as even as an ironing-board, with perfect surface integrity, a phenomenon rarer in glass than hardstone carving.
