This little guy finally arrived today!
Chinese porcelain snuff bottle in the likeness of a playful lion, also known as 'Shi' or 'Foo Dog', with a green body, brown tail and mane, yellow, bushy eyebrows, and chewing on a xiù qiú ball with flower designs and a brown ribbon tied around it.
The front of the xiù qiú is the opening to the snuff bottle and has a Jade stopper - which appears to be the original stopper.
He came in what appears to be an original silk box too, and he's in such good condition that it looks like he's spent most of his life in that box!
7cm tall without stopper
