A BLACK JADE PEBBLE-FORM SNUFF BOTTLE QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURY |

Acquired 8th November 1974 (HK$3,600). 

It is rare to find a black jade snuff bottle retaining its original pebble form. With faint inclusions ranging from dark grey to white, the bottle is reminiscent of a black and white jade snuff bottle from the collection of Joe Grimberg, sold in our New York rooms, 14th September 2010, lot 69, where the broadest white inclusion resembles a band across the body.
