A Carved Silhouette Agate Snuff Bottle |
Qing Dynasty The eardrop is like a tassel, with a jadeite butterfly on a gold receptacle on the top. There's a gold pin at the back for getting through the hole of the earlobe. Below the receptacle, there's a string of pearls, with the one on the top being a third-grade pearl. The gold receptacle supporting the pearl bears the mark of "Baoyuan Jiujin" (presumably the name of the gold shop and the purity of the gold is 90%). The string of pearls ends with an eggplant-shaped pendant fitted into a pink tourmaline receptacle with a pearl on both sides. |
