Snuff Bottle with Stopper

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle with Stopper by artist is a clear glass bottle with a rounded body and a short neck. The bottle has a small, circular opening at the top and appears to have a stopper made of a light-colored material, possibly cork, inserted into the neck. The body of the bottle features a colorful, hand-painted design depicting a plant with large green leaves and a red fruit or vegetable. Surrounding the plant are several insects, including a bee or wasp and a butterfly, as well as some small red flowers or berries. The background of the image is dark gray, with a lighter gray surface that the bottle is sitting on. The bottle casts a slight shadow on the surface below it.
