About the Item
A mixture of finely powdered tobacco, herbs, and spices, snuff was introduced to China in the 17th century by Western diplomats. Initially reserved for ranking members of Qing-dynasty society, the practice provided an opportunity to display one's refined aesthetic through collectible snuff containers.
This early 20th century snuff bottle is hand-crafted of blown glass to a flattened, ovoid shape, complete with a stopper of blue porcelain bead and a silver snuff spoon. Minimal and striking, the glass bottle has subtle translucency and luminous green color that imitates the finest apple-green jade.
