Provenance

From the Collection of Ann Kreuger (l1926-2022).

Ann Kreuger is well known in the circles of snuff bottles collectors, dealers and auction houses. She was an active member in the Snuff bottle society, researched, collected, lectured, and wrote numerous articles in the subject. Her deep interest in Chinese culture, language, tradition, and history led her to build a very rich library on the subject. A large part of her collection of snuff bottles was sold at Sotheby’s, see the single owner sale ‘The Guo’an Collection of fine Chinese snuff bottles, Hong Kong, Monday 30 October 2000, from where they found their way into other prestigious collections.
