This late 18th or early 19th Jasper snuff bottle is extremly well made. It's oval form with panels is reminiscent of earlier glass bottles produced. The swirling red's, orange's and green's are almost like a painting of modern art. The bottle is also very well polished but does have a russet patch in one area of the stone. It maintains a nicely complementing gem stopper and spoon. Flat base typical for this style and period with old collectors and/or auction tags. A very similar example was Sold through Sotheby's in 2014 as part of the Bloch collection.
