A snuff bottle is a small, decorative bottle used to hold powdered tobacco, typically taken by inhalation through the nose. These bottles were popular in China during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) and were often made of precious materials such as jade, ivory, or porcelain.
Snuff bottles were not only functional but also served as status symbols and were often highly ornate with intricate designs and carvings. They were typically carried by wealthy individuals as a fashion accessory and were often given as gifts or used as tokens of gratitude.
In addition to holding tobacco, snuff bottles were also used to carry various perfumes and medicinal substances. Today, they are prized by collectors for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
