EARLY 1900S (3) ANTIQUE CHINESE METAL SNUFF BOTTLES W STONE INLAYS, CINNABAR ETC

Description

Welcome to my auction! You are considering a nice group of three antique Chinese snuff bottles all being produced in the early 1900s from around 1920s to the 1930s or there abouts with each snuff bottle having the word 'CHINA' marked to the underside with the tallest one marked to the outside the the foot rim. Each bottle is made of a white metal with the cinnabar plaque and the painted plaque ones appearing to have a light gold color wash with all three being decorated with inlaid stones both to the bodies and the tops and all having their spoons. Below I will list each one for sizes and condition with a brief description. A great opportunity to purchase three snuff bottles of similar taste, but all being quite different and would make a good addition to ones collection or for the entry level collector.
#1....Snuff Bottle with floral cinnabar plaques to each side: H 3" x W 2" x D 1" Having a all over wire design similar to the cloisonne wire process along with inlaid stones to top and both sides with a gold color style wash marked 'CHINA' to the underside. Condition is excellent with good surface patine and missing one stone to the top otherwise great

Condition overall is excellent with nice age surface patina.
#3...Snuff Bottle with hand chased designs to the white metal body showing a very interesting look with the top matching the same roundels that are decorated to each side in both stones and size and is marked 'China' to the underside measuring: H 3-1/4" x W 2" x D 1-5/8" (including the protruding roundels) Condition is excellent with only light surface wear having no other faults.
