Well, it's been so quiet on the forum lately, so I'm posting another floater bottle. As with the last one, this one doesn't really stand out and shout at you. You really need to spend time with it and handle it to appreciate its subtler qualities. An impeccably carved and finished bottle, relying only on its rich depth of colour for decoration - a case of 'less is more'.

Description:
Deep amber tone agate snuff bottle of rounded rectangular shape with a slightly waisted cylindrical neck, and resting on a raised footrim, very well hollowed, with  mask and ring handles at the shoulders, and polished to a high gloss finish. Pale greenish-white jade stopper with a black collar.

Height without stopper:  5.8 cm
