Dear Samson,

Attached is a well hollowed 'Sandwiched' Glass. The colour swirls are in-between thick layer of glass as shown in the mouth opening. Photography of this bottle is very hard due to the thick layer of clear glass resulting in reflections.

Palace workshop.
Dated to 1730-1780
5.5cm high, Mouth/lip: 0.81/1.50cm
Exhibited: An Exhibition of Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Bob C. Stevens Collection, Mikimoto Hall, Tokyo, October 1978

Cheers,
YT
