Antique Chinese Snuff Bottles - Thal Collection Catalog - Color Illustrations

Description

Bottles of Delight. The Thal Collection of Chinese Snuff Bottles.
By Jennifer Chen.
Published by the Seattle Art Museum in 1998.
"An intricately decorated snuff bottle was once a necessary accoutrement for upper-class men of Qing dynasty China -a mark of sophistication and status that, though newly introduced in the 1640s, drew on centuries of Chinese craftsmanship. This catalog showcases 46 of these exquisite glass objects, the collection of San Francisco jeweler Stephen Thal, donated to the Seattle Art Museum". The collection includes porcelain, jade, quartz, stone, amber, glass, jadeite and inside-painted snuff bottles.
Softcover. 8.5"x10.5", 102 pages, color illustrations. Fine, clean condition.
