CINNABAR LACQUER SNUFF BOTTLE  4 Character Qianlong Mark.  It is circa 19th C, 3" high including its original "chrysanthemum" stopper.

I have had this bottle for many years.  I like diminutive items and just kept it for a long time.  It makes me happy to be able to offer it here to you.  A beautiful vintage item.



“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities, all things were created by him and for him.  He is before all things and in him all things hold together.  And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.  For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” 

Colossians 1:15-20  / The Supremacy of Christ
