a uniquely captivating Vintage Chinese Miniature Gourd Snuff Bottle featuring an intricate, hand-etched erotic art scene (Chun Gong Tu).
Crafted in the traditional Lanzhou Gourd Carving style, this pocket-sized curiosity is fashioned from a genuine, natural dried double-gourd (Hulu). The fine, microscopic line drawings are expertly incised into the gourd’s smooth outer skin and highlighted with black ink/ash lacquer, beautifully contrasting against the naturally aged mustard-yellow patina of the wood.
The double-gourd form is a traditional Chinese symbol of longevity, good fortune, and fertility, making the intimate subject matter a classic, symbolic addition.
