Jasper's vibrant colours derive from ferrous oxide and hydroxide for the green, and ferric oxide for the red. Widely used in snuff bottle production, jasper was often left plain to showcase the stone's natural patterns. In the present lot, the rich red streaks sweep down across the surface, evoking brushstrokes and landscape imagery well aligned with literati taste.
Compare with a slightly larger jasper snuff bottle, 18th century, in the collection of the Hong Kong Museum of Art (acc.no.C1979.0133).
