Snuff Bottle2

                   Size: 1 5/8"x1/2"x2 1/2"

                   This bottle was made in the year 1904, for a court official named Li Hongzhang.

                   This was in the final years of the Qing dynasty. The words on one side of the bottle

                   say that it was made in the 29th year of the Emperor GuangXu's reign. Because it

                   was made specially for Mr Li, the design is a somewhat unusual one, to say nothing

                  of the position.
