Dear all,

Attached is a green overlay glass on snowflake/camphor ground. Family of chicken with 10 chicks.

I am quite sure it is an overlay rather than an applique as mentioned by Joey looking at picture 2 under the stem of the bamboo. The overlay carving dug into the base glass more than 20% leaving the whole bottle with many minute holes from all the air bubbles.

One surprise though is the four character Qianlong NianZhi mark. It wasn't mentioned during the sale or in the one picture I got.

Any comments or dating is very welcome. Thank you.

Cheers,
YT
