Description:

The scenes on this snuff-bottle were painted from the inside using a fine angled brush. The Chinese writing on one side says ‘Landscape of mountains and water in the mid autumn month’. It gives a date from the traditional sixty year cycle that Chinese people used, in this case probably 1899.
