About

This

Antiquarian

Book

This AWESOME Antiquarian LONG OUT OF PRINT auction catalogue lists and thoroughly describes 263 select Lots, ALL of which appear to be substantially illustrated in remarkable colour, of an unbelievable assemblage of superb vintage Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Blanche B. Exstein Collection

DOUBLE WOWSERS! Evelio and I always appreciated the exotic flavour and design of oriental art -- when the art and antique shop was open many years ago we had a section devoted exclusively to these marvelous things -- bronzes / ceramics, pottery figures / horses, wood block prints / textiles / Buddhas / snuff bottles / seals / silver items, etc. -- there was something mysterious and thoroughly enchanting about them. Some select things still remain -- some may appear at online auction when and if the spirit moves me.

Each snuff bottle has an extensive description, including details about the age, material/s used, form, motif -- many tell of the provinence, where exhibited, and book reference. Some include an illustration of the artist / period mark -- some show the spoon -- Price estimates provided in $us -- this may be my ONLY copy

Most are shown in several views, some including the bottom with maker's marks / chop

This awesomely illustrated is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in these splendid oriental collectible art works! If you started your own personal computer interactive relational database of these kewl items, you will find MANY new things to add to it, in informative description as well as pics, right in this awesomely well-illustrated reference source

This extremely AWESOMELY illustrated reference is a MUST HAVE for that class term paper, for the resource library of a Chinese snuff bottle collector / shop owner / appraiser / museum curator / student or teacher researching the subject, the artists, their materials, techniques and their varied shapes -- flee marketeer / yard sale hound / country / estate auction goer -- these treasures may still be found at any of those venues and you will then know exactly what you are looking at. This fine volume would make an awesome addition to your own personal Chinese antique reference library -- or as a gift for a friend.
