Christie's Asia Week in New York begins tomorrow September 14. One of the highlights will be the sale of the Meriem Collection of Chinese snuff bottles. I think the samples above are exquisite, and something that might inspire a contemporary designer.
These elephant drawings are from Thailand, 19th century.

Agreed, the snuff bottles are exquisite. The colors are wonderfully fresh.

you're def on an asian roll this week! what's inspired this?
Did you get the pretty little information packet from Christie's? I think I am going to try to run over there this weekend and take a look at everything.
Wow, really beautiful porcelain!
I know some people from Atlanta who attend the auction each year, and I always enjoy a sneak peek at the catalog as well as a look at their purchases when they return :)
Great post Courtney!! The snuff bottles are so pretty!
thanks ronda!
Beautiful colors in these...they could definitely inspire an artist!
Ooooo! What wonderful stuff! I can just see the elephants in a room like you describe. The bottles are so pretty.
I can never get enough of elephants as a deign element. Thankfully, Asian inspired pieces are considered timeless classics... such beautiful pieces.
