Offered is a stunning, highly decorative Chinese snuff bottle crafted in the classic "Peking Glass" tradition. This piece is designed to emulate the rare and coveted "Tri-Color" (Fuk-Luk-Sau) jadeite, featuring vibrant splashes of imperial green, honey yellow, and soft lavender against a translucent camphor-glass matrix.
Materials & Artistry:
Body: High-density Peking Glass with a mottled, "snowflake" translucency. The colors are suspended within the glass, creating a depth that beautifully mimics natural stone.
Stopper: Features a well-fitted metal collar (silver-tone) topped with a vivid turquoise-blue cabochon.
Spoon: Includes an integrated long-reach spoon, intact and functional.
Condition & Authentication:
The bottle is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or visible bruising to the glass body.
Authenticity Note: This piece has been tested for density (Specific Gravity ~2.45) and UV fluorescence, confirming it as authentic early-20th-century Peking Glass rather than dyed modern resin.
Dimensions:
Height: 2.5" (with stopper)
Width: 2.78"
Total Weight: 1.9 oz (54g)
Bottle Only Weight: 1.7 oz (49g)
Collector’s Note:
The "Lavender" splash in this specific bottle is particularly well-saturated, making it a standout addition to a vitrine or a Chinese scholar's object collection.

Body: The glass retains a high luster with no visible cracks, deep chips, or "flea bites" along the delicate shoulder or base. Stopper/Neck: The turquoise cabochon shows natural matrix lines but no structural damage. The metal collar shows a darkened original patina consistent with age. Internal: The spoon is intact and remains attached to the cork, though the cork itself shows some expected compression/wear from use. less
