Capturing the delicate mastery of traditional Chinese Neihua (inside reverse painting), this vintage crystal snuff bottle offers a mesmerizing showcase of classical artistry. The frosted interior cavity features a finely rendered portrait of Tang Dynasty beauty Yang Guifei nestled beside lotus blossoms on one face, paired with an elegant court lady in pavilion robes on the reverse.
Crafted from solid clear crystal with polished faceted sides and crowned by a rich red domed stopper, this miniature work measures approximately 3 inches high by 2 inches wide. It survives in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or scratches, preserving its vibrant internal brushwork with striking clarity.
