Best family decision at the moment is an ear wax scoop . What do you think?. Pink glass is rather stunning and is translucent almost clouds in it even if it does look like a rather beautiful boob!. Thankyou
Thank heavens for that!. I like this idea much more . Any idea of age or country of origin or is that indecipherable?
Chinese snuff bottle stopper and spoon, brass and candy jade. Candy jade is dyed, but that doesn't bother your average collector, like yours truly. Antique stoppers have often gone missing, and these are perfect for Peking glass bottles, for instance.
Here is an antique Peking glass overlay bottle with similar stopper and spoon (and antique goo, no earwax):
I'll let Kiko decide first, otherwise I'd love to have it, thank you for the kind offer KSW. The size Kiko is looking for is the diameter of the base of the brass mount holding the jade cabochon. It needs to be the same as the top of the bottle. Kiko, if it is not the right size, there are usually some on ebay.
I'm still looking for the missing one on my Tibetan snuff bottles, which are still being worked on slowly by me. I didn't check the size on the one I purchased from ebay and it turnout out to be much smaller. Thank you for deferring, but if this matches something you have then I'll defer to you.
Kiko, is this the one you mean, the one on the right? I am not trying to get you away from KSW's stopper, but I don't think it would look right on this particular bottle. Very different style and materials. If you can't find a matching stopper in the same style as the others, you could look for the right size turquoise cabochon and glue it to a small cork or something like that. I have used gemstone cabochons for broken stoppers.
Slight technical hitch in that it’s vanished off the table whilst my children were playing lava ( leaping round the furniture not touching the ground). Normal business will be resumed as soon as it’s located and I will let you know @Any Jewelry
Sounds like a great game, and I am sure a snuff bottle stopper will add to the enjoyment. Take your time, my snuff bottles have been around for a long time and don't mind waiting a bit longer.
I found it!! Undamaged and under the sofa @Any Jewelry do you still want it?. No problem if not but if you do I’ll pop it in the post x
