Snuff Bottle with Mottled Surface, Qing Dynasty

A snuff bottle is a small bottle, usually made of materials such as glass, porcelain, or jade, that was used to hold powdered tobacco, also known as snuff. Snuff bottles were particularly popular in China during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and were often made as decorative pieces with intricate designs and craftsmanship. Snuff bottles typically have a small spoon attached to the stopper, which is used to scoop out a small amount of snuff. The user would then inhale the snuff through their nose, either for medicinal purposes or as a social habit. Today, snuff bottles are often collected as works of art and can be found in museums and private collections around the world. They are appreciated for their intricate designs, materials, and historical significance as a cultural artifact.
