Snuff Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by Unknown. The object is a rounded, brown vessel with a short neck and a flat base. The body of the vessel is bulbous and asymmetrical. The surface is covered in a glaze that is primarily brown, with streaks and patches of blue-green. The glaze appears to be uneven, with some areas thicker than others, and has a glossy finish. The base of the vessel is flat and appears to be a darker brown color. The background of the image is dark at the top and lighter at the bottom, with a gradient effect. The object casts a shadow on the surface below it.
