Qing Jiaqing Famille-rose Nine Autumn Flowers Snuff Bottle

This exquisite Chinese porcelain snuff bottle from the Jiaqing period features a classic upright form with a straight mouth, rounded shoulders, and a body that tapers toward a flat base.

The bottle is adorned with finely rendered famille-rose enamels depicting the 'Nine Autumn Flowers' theme, showcasing a vibrant arrangement of chrysanthemums, mallows, cockscombs, and crabapple flowers within gold-outlined, pointed arched cartouches on both sides. This motif represents an auspicious symbol of a prosperous harvest and celebration. The neck and sides of the bottle are decorated with iron-red scrolling floral patterns on a white ground.

The base is marked with a four-character horizontal seal mark in iron-red on a white ground, reading 'Jiaqing Nian Zhi' (Made in the Jiaqing period). With a height of 6.5 cm, the vessel exhibits sophisticated craftsmanship and meticulous composition, characteristic of imperial workshop standards of the era. The piece displays a soft, delicate color palette, with the floral subjects rendered in elegant, refined brushwork.
