A trio of Chinese snuff bottles comprising two red cinnabar lacquer style bottles and one cream resin bottle. The red bottles are of flattened ovoid form, featuring high relief decoration of traditional mountain landscapes with pavilions, bridges, and figures set against a geometric diaper-patterned ground. The cream bottle is designed to simulate carved ivory, featuring a similar landscape scene with a figure near a flowering tree. Each bottle is constructed from a moulded material, likely phenolic or bakelite resin. All three bottles are fitted with matching stoppers featuring metal collars and internal spoons. The bases feature raised oval foot rims, which are plain and lack any visible marks or inscriptions.
Approximately 7 cm to 8 cm.
