This is a stunning Chinese Shou Shan stone, hand carved snuff bottle. The carving at the front is of an Elder holding a walking staff and crossing a stone bridge. He has a child running by his side. The scenic view continues around part of one side of the bottle. The back is carved with the roofs of houses that can be seen beyond the hillside.

This has been signed 'Shi Qing' at the front and this can be seen in the photos.

The bottle has been wonderfully polished and has a great natural pattern. It is finished off with a lovely stopper that has a spoon attached to the inside.

This bottle is well hollowed out and comes with a FREE wooden stand the has been purposly built for this bottle. The stand has a grove that the bottle slots in to. T is also a presentation box with this. These can be seen in the photos. The colour are as close as I can get them and all are taken in natural light. This is a lot better than any photo can show.

Height: approx. 2.5 inches

Width: approx. 1.5 inches at it's widest

Diameter: approx. 1.25 inches

Please Read: Carved Stone - You can choose from a wide selection of specimen stones ranging from Agate to Jade and every thing in between. These bottles are selected not only for the carving work but the patterns in the stones themselves. Many are made from rare and difficult to find materials. Most of the stone bottles are carved in the homes of the artist to supplement their income, practicing an art that has been passed down through the generations.

This would make a wonderful addition to a Snuff Bottle Collection, a Oriental art collection, a Miniature Collection or just a valued addition to anyone's home.........
