main picture:Double carp picture

The front of the snuff bottle depicts two carp swimming in the water, carp symbolizes good luck and wealth. The carp in the painting are brightly colored, one red and one black, forming a sharp contrast, and the swimming posture is lifelike. The delicate painting makes every fish scale clearly visible, showing the superb skills of the craftsman. The surrounding water plants and ripples were also drawn in great detail, as if one could feel the movements in the water. This picture is not only full of life flavor, but also conveys people’s yearning and pursuit for a better life.

On the right side of the picture, Ms. Li Shaoyue’s signature “Shaoyue”

Sub-picture:Wind swing lotus

The back of the snuff bottle depicts a blooming lotus flower, which symbolizes purity and nobility. The lotus petals in the painting are soft and elegant in color, and the delicate brushwork vividly displays the softness and beauty of the lotus. The greenery of the flower stems and leaves contrasts sharply with the elegance of the flowers, showing a natural beauty. The inscription “Clean Fragrance” on one side of the pot adds to the cultural heritage of the work, complements the theme of the picture, and highlights the profound cultural accomplishment and artistic level of the craftsman.

Note: The snuff bottle material is “old pink”, this pink is fired with a special formula and special temperature, pink naturally appears on the inside of the glass, so it is not simply painted with pink paint. Because of the paint smear, the background color of the picture is very “stiff”. However, in 2011, with the death of the last craftsman who made “old pink”, snuff bottles made of “old pink” are no longer produced.
