This is a very fine Qing Dynasty period, well-hallowed Dendritic Chalcedony Snuff Bottle of circular bulbous form, with a high neck, a flat wide lip, and an oval foot rim surrounding a shallowly recessed flat foot. The translucent stone has an abstract mottled pattern of brown and white macaroni and eye forms surrounding bursts of white and cream colored patterns on one side, and a mushroom-like silhouette made up of brown dots on the reverse, over a grayish tone ground. It comes with a gray agate stopper with a black collar. This outstanding looking bottle is in remarkable preserved condition.
