A finely cast small bronze bottle or snuff container, dating to the late Qing Dynasty. The cylindrical form is carved with flying cranes among swirling clouds, symbolizing longevity and auspiciousness. The rim and base are encircled with archaic key-fret (leiwen) patterns. The surface shows signs of age and a stable dark patina. Likely used for decorative or personal accessory purposes, this piece reflects the delicate craftsmanship of late Qing bronze ornamentation. A charming item for collectors of Chinese scholar's objects or decorative antiques.
