FINE ENAMEL MANDARIN DUCKS & QUAIL SNUFF BOTTLE

One side with pair of Mandarin Ducks, the reverse with pair of Quail, all finely painted in enamel over copper, within cartouches, the sides with floral motifs, lappets and scrolls at the neck, the bottom with 4-character Qianlong mark, elaborate matching sculpted stopper with Shou and metal spoon, padded brocade box. Compare with Journal of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, May 2005, p. 37. Mandarin Ducks and Quail mate for life, making this a very appropriate wedding or anniversary present. A very fine example at a bargain price.
