Chinese Erotic Shunga Scene Porcelain Snuff Bottle
A Chinese porcelain snuff bottle of cylindrical form, decorated with a shunga-type scene depicting a couple in an intimate setting.
The body is finely painted in polychrome enamels, showing a figural composition with landscape elements. The shoulder is finished with a gilt-ground band featuring floral decoration, with additional banding to the rim and foot.
The base carries a blue signed mark. Comparable examples of Chinese erotic snuff bottles are typically described as signed rather than bearing formal kiln marks, and are generally dated to the 20th century.
It is in good condition for its age, with visible signs of age and usage.
There are surface marks and light wear to the enamel and gilt decoration.
Minor wear to the rim and base.
No stopper present.
