An exceptional 19th-century Chinese Peking glass overlay snuff bottle, beautifully hand-carved in a classic cameo technique. This collector's piece features a vibrant cinnabar-red glass overlay meticulously carved away down to a frosted white ground, creating sharp, textured depth.
One side showcases a fierce serpentine Imperial Dragon (Long), while the reverse displays a stylized, elegant Phoenix (Fenghuang). Together, the dragon and phoenix represent the ultimate symbol of matrimonial harmony, balance, and good fortune in traditional Chinese culture. The lower perimeter is beautifully anchored by a hand-carved wave and cloud swirl pattern.
Height: 2.25 inches (5.7 cm) including stopper
