A SHORT HISTORY OF SNUFF BOTTLES
Due to it’s versatility of style and fine crafts-manship, these tiny masterpieces became one of the most notable representations of  artistic skill throughout the Far East. Originally only a luxury for the elite, Snuff bottles were used for the attainment of favours, positions, status and advancement in government. During the 1700's they became collectable items and the finer the snuff bottle, the more respected was its owner. Snuff bottles were made out of glass, porcelain, jade and other hardstones, ivory, coral, lacquer, amber, or wood.
