Blue-and-White Porcelain Snuff Bottle with Crane and PineEntry/Object ID
SB3505Description
Tall Chinese porcelain snuff bottle decorated in underglaze cobalt blue with a crane beneath an old pine tree and associated landscape vegetation. The unusually soft, diffused cobalt is intentional and gives the painting an atmospheric quality rather than the crisp linear treatment seen on many blue-and-white bottles.Category
