    Description

    This is for a beautiful, MINT CONDITION, Antique carved Lapis Lazuli snuff bottle.  Front side is a carved in relief animal with antlers, I would guess a stag. The reverse side is carved into the bottle a motif of leaves and flowers.  the lapis has matrix of some browns, gold and white, the lapis color is more of a Denim color than the cobalt. It is 2 1/4" tall.
    The only provenance I have is this was my grandmothers, I am 62.  My grandfather was the Dean Of Engineering and received many lovely gifts from his foreign students.
    This is really a lovely piece please zoom in on all the photos.
