Featured Glass Frog Snuff Bottle

Fairly recent I guess?

 

Gorgeous froggy, lovely blue overlay.
I have several of these carved Peking glass overlay animal snuff bottles, but I have no idea how old they are. I have never seen the animal ones in 19th century European collections, so they are likely to be later. My guess is most are Republic Period, but that is just a guess.
I love them, not just for the craftsmanship, but also the humour. And the way the bottom is carved with those little feet. They always bring a smile to my face.
Here is one of mine, a tortoise munching away on the cherry blossom coral stopper, while a bird is resting on its back:



Your bottle is fine as it is, but if you ever want a stopper for one, you can glue a glas or stone cabochon on a small cork for a finishing touch. You can also buy old and new spoons and stoppers, but that is more of a collector's thing.

 

I wonder if that cloudiness inside was intentional or is some kind of residue.
I'm not sure what kind of stopper will fit well as the mouth is notched.

 

Oooooooooo!
Love it.

 

A long one.
The mouth on my tortoise is a bit notched as well, it doesn't matter if you see a bit of the side.

The residue is probably age.

 

A cork could be carefully carved to appear quite nice in that.
Wood too or even colored plastic.

 

You make it a bit smaller than the opening, and adjust the size with thin strips of that almost see-through paper tape. That's what you see on mine.
