Pair Vintage Chinese Inside-Painted Glass Snuff Bottles - Ye Xiaosan Signed - Peking Opera Commemorative Mei Lanfang & Li Shifang, ROC Template, Smoky Glass Overlay 3.5"
•The Artist: Signed Ye Xiaosan (叶小三), member of the iconic Beijing School master lineage. Includes a painted red vermilion artist seal (Yin).
•The Historical Subjects: A rare, interconnected theatrical set. Bottle 1 is dedicated to Grandmaster Mei Lanfang (dated ROC 16 / 1927). Bottle 2 is dedicated to his legendary star pupil Li Shifang (dated ROC 20 / 1931).
•Premium Construction Features: Both vessels feature heavy, substantial thick-walled glass bodies, beautifully detailed relief-carved monster mask handles (Taotie) on the shoulders, and highly defined, traditionally ground and polished oval foot rims (not flat-bottomed reproductions).
•Optical Effect: Features a beautiful dark charcoal framing overlay that masks the edges against dark backgrounds, causing the internal amber-painted landscape windows to vibrantly pop under light.
