Hello everyone,

Here's a bottle I'm very fond of that was passed down to me by my father who bought it in 1968 from Y. F. Yang in Kowloon, Hong Kong. The invoice says "Carved white jade hi-relief horse, monkey and pine tree design snuff bottle jade stopper, Tao-Kwang period 1821-1850, with stand". I hope you like it.

Wow!!!

I will say I was not a big fan of stone bottle, but this bottle is REALLY attractive, the color is so pure, polish is super well done, also the carved job is stunning as well.

Congratulations!

Thanks! Its a pleasure...this one's a keeper. My father had good taste, no doubt helped by Mr. Yang at point of purchase! I'll be posting the other YF Yang bottles in due course.

Vaughan,

If you ever change your mind, you probably won't need to look far to find it a new home.  Grin
