Description
Description: Chinese russet nephrite jade snuff bottle of inverted tear drop form with round shoulders and long neck.

Despite its apparent simplicity, this bottle is a masterpiece as denoted by its elegant shape, the well hollowing, the narrow opening, the tall, thin foot, and the quality of the material.
