Yixing snuff bottles flourished from the Jiaqing reign to the end of the 19th century, but the finest were arguably made during the Jiaqing and Daoguang period, all from a single workshop, perhaps from a single hand.
The current bottle is slip-decorated against an enamelled ground with two minuscule figures deep in conversation on the bridge. The depiction imbues the quiet landscape scene with liveliness, exhibiting astounding control and technique by the artist.
