Snuff Bottles

Chinese snuff bottles, and the powdered tobacco which they contained, were at the heart of a fashion which had no equivalent in China’s long history. Because of the extraordinary variety of styles, techniques and materials found in these small objects, and the exquisite craftsmanship which was lavished upon them, these miniature masterpieces became one of the most important representations of the applied arts during the Qing Dynasty.
