Antique Chinese lapis lazuli carving in shape of a fish. Dates to early 1900's. On custom made wooden base. The color is deep blue and is very homogenous without inclusions, except at the base and this is a very rare feature for lapis and increasing the value (jewelry grade). Size: 2.5" x 2". This carving is actually a snuff bottle with the opening at the fish mouth. The stopper is missing. The carving is very intricate and features the fish swimming on top of water waves. Estimated value: $1200.
