    This snuff bottle features the cutest kittens ever! One with a bee and the other with a bug - in each scene the insect has the kittens full attention.
    The painting is so well done you can almost feel how soft the kittens fur is!
    Cat (t:?; s:? - m?o) - disperses evil spirits (due to eye sight, also at night)
    The bottle also has lovely carved sides and a jade top.

      I have loved every one of your snuff bottles.
      Not only is the painting amazing it is also exceptionally beautiful. I can imagine you picking one of them up from time to time and spending time just looking and looking. Thanks for the posts.
