Description
Collectible Introduction
The child has its mouth slightly open, which appears to be a rather luxurious little additional detail to confirm the skill of the potter and bring the subject to life. It is a near certainty that the open mouth is also a technical requirement, however, insofar as it allows air to escape from the hollow boy in the firing to minimize the chance of cracking or warping.
6.3 cm (h)

In 01/06/2015 Sotheby's Hong Kong Auction, a similar size and shape's snuff bottle was sold for HK$50,000.- (Lot. 138)
