Snuff Bottle with Birds on Trees

This vessel is a Chinese cloisonné snuff bottle created during the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). It features a rounded, flattened body resting on an oval foot and rising to a short cylindrical neck fitted with a dome-shaped stopper.

The exterior is decorated with polychrome cloisonné enamels. A central cartouche framed in red against a turquoise-blue ground depicts a green bird perched amidst flowering tree branches. Surrounding the cartouche, the body of the bottle is covered in a dense yellow geometric fret pattern. Decorative ruyi-style motifs embellish the shoulder and neck, while the matching stopper is adorned with dark blue, green, and yellow patterns. Metal wire outlines each colored section, complemented by exposed gilt metal on the foot and neck rim.

Originating from China, the snuff bottle is classified under metalwork and Asian decorative vessels. No specific artist, inscriptions, or precise physical dimensions are recorded in the museum data.
