A ‘PEACOCK BUTTERFLY’ SANDWICHED GLASS SNUFF BOTTLE A layer of randomly dispersed ‘peacock butterfly’ spots in lemon-yellow and iron-red sandwiched between layers of transparent and opaque black glass. China, 1740-1860Within the family of sandwiched glass bottles the ‘peacock butterfly’ design is rather unusual, but the creative yet traditional quality in which both the design and the form of the bottle are executed leads one to believe that it is rather dating from the 18th century than later.Shape: Bulbous round formHollowing: StandardMouth, neck and lip: Cylindric elongated neck with flat top and small mouthBase: Oval shape with raised flat foot rimStopper: White quartzHeight of the bottle with stopper: 6.2 cmWidth of the mouth: 5 mmWidth of the neck:17 mmCondition: ExcellentProvenance: Austrian private collectionLiterature comparison: Robert Hall, Chinese Snuff Bottles II, Including an important selection from the Marian Mayer Collection, lots 66 and 67.
