Snuff Bottle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist is a red, glass or crystal object with a bulbous body and a cylindrical neck. The body is bulbous with a narrow base and a wider middle section. The neck is cylindrical and short with a small opening at the top. Two small, cylindrical protrusions are on either side of the neck, near the top. The object has a glossy finish and appears to be made of a translucent material, possibly glass or crystal. The color is a deep, rich red. The object is sitting on a flat surface, casting a shadow behind it. The background is dark at the top and light gray at the bottom.
