A small Chinese painted enamel trompe l'oeil snuff bottle

of elegant baluster form with rounded shoulders rising to a short neck, brilliantly enamelled around the upper body with a large ribbon-tied sash elaborately decorated with foliage roundels, peach sprays and bats, the sash softly curling to reveal the lime-green on the underside decorated with finely pencilled scroll roundels, the shoulders with four lobed panels partially obscured by the sash and separated by a rose sprig, each enclosing a leafy lotus spray on a turquoise-ground, all reserved on a bright yellow-ground decorated with camellia and rose blooms on meandering leafy stems, between lotus lappets enclosing ruyi sprays at the mouth, the rim gilt.The cover is gilt with a Shou character surrounded by Fu bats, the base white inscribed with an apocryphal Qianlong mark.
