Inside-painted crystal snuff bottle

Measurement

(H) high 7.3 CM, (T) thick 1.5 CM, (W)width 3.3 CM

Description

A rarely impressive beautiful inside-painted crystal snuff bottle    ( Late Qing dynasty to Republic period )
Rare bright orange colour background crystal bottle, rectangular form, finely inside-painted the historical story on family origin of 'Marquis of Han dynasty' (Became the great emperor of Eastern Han in later). With pink quartz stopper, flaw. 

Eastern Han (AD25-220) history : "Forth years of emperor Yuan, resettlement in Nanyang White Water Town, still to keep Chung Ling for the country name, then with the brother and clan to home (Nanyang White Water Town)."

Emperor Guangwu (born Liu Xiu; 13 January 5 BC – 29 March AD 57), courtesy name Wenshu, was an emperor of the Chinese Han dynasty, restorer of the dynasty in AD 25 and thus founder of the Later Han or Eastern Han (the restored Han Dynasty). He ruled over parts of China at first, and through suppression and conquest of regional warlords, the whole of China was consolidated by the time of his death in 57.
Emperor Guangwu, he himself appeared to be a brilliant strategist; he often instructed his generals as to strategy from afar, and his predictions generally would be accurate. This was often emulated by later emperors who fancied themselves great strategists but who actually lacked Emperor Guangwu's brilliance—usually to great disastrous results.
Also unique among emperors in Chinese history was Emperor Guangwu's combination of decisiveness and mercy. He often sought out peaceful means rather than bellicose means of putting areas under his control. He was, in particular, one of the rare examples of a founding emperor of a dynasty who did not kill, out of jealousy or paranoia, any of the generals or officials who contributed to his victories after his rule was secure.

The heart is our fertile land, not shallow should allow, this is the most important. On our psychological desires, to get rid any of a little lust, any lust are hindered and devil.  Be careful to get rid of all our bad habits on the old days, and to chew up the new spirit in our lives.

Because very often the transparency of agate is not good,  texture is very hard; fine agate with good craftsmanship need to have dozens of processes, of course, its value is higher.
