    Description

    Two Vintage Chinese Reverse Painted Snuff/Perfume Bottles - Crane Design. Had a friend translate the signature on one bottle and it appears to be from the 1950's. Cranes, or herons as they are also referred to as, play an important role in Chinese Mythology. In Chinese Culture, the Crane is venerated as the prince of all feathered creatures and thus has legendary status. Embodying longevity and peace, it is the second most favored bird symbol after the Pheonix.
