Chinese cloisonné enamel snuff bottle. Dimension: The central design features a fruiting tree branch bearing peaches (Tao / ?) alongside Buddha's hand citrons (Foshou / ??) growing from a rustic rockery landscape. The reverse side central motif depicts a large red bat (Fu / ?) soaring directly above a pair of interlocking, old-style Chinese cash coins (Qian / ?). In traditional Chinese art, this specific combination forms a visual pun for the phrase ?????? (Fú zài qián qián), which translates to "Good fortune right before your eyes". The primary yellow panel is framed by a colorful border displaying abstract green and blue swirling scroll patterns, topped with a brass collar and a matching coral-red dome stopper.
