This elegant inside painted snuff bottle depicts a young male and female Chinese Bulbul couple. The head of the male songbird bears a patch of white feathers. Bulbuls typically fly in pairs and symbolize not only longevity, but also a happy marriage in which the husband and wife stay together until their hair turns as grey as the head of a Bulbul.
