Antique Chinese Amber Peking Glass Elephant Snuff Bottle - Late Qing /

This Chinese snuff bottle is a stunning example of amber Peking glass likely dating to the late Qing Republic Period. The bottle features an elephant design, making it a unique addition to any collection.
The word for elephant in Chinese is a homonym for the Chinese word “sign” and vase in Chinese rhymes with the word “peace.” The rebus of this combination alludes to the popular saying “when there is peace, there are signs.”
