Porcelain snuff bottle of flattened form with short foot and domed stopper, decorated in underglaze blue and iron red on a pale ground. One side features a bird perched among pine branches with accompanying calligraphy and a small seal mark, while the reverse is filled with vertically arranged Chinese script, giving the piece a scholarly and literati character. The bottle presents the classic small cabinet scale associated with Chinese snuff bottles and would display well on its own or within an assembled collection of Asian decorative arts. The images show a fitted stopper and fully decorated front and back, details that enhance its appeal for collectors seeking figural and calligraphic ornament. Size: 3.25"H
