Snuff bottle with stopper

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a Snuff bottle with stopper by an unknown artist. The bottle is dark-colored, likely black or very dark brown, and made of a shiny material, likely glass. The bottle has a rounded body that tapers to a narrow neck with a small lip at the top. The stopper is the same color as the bottle. The bottle is positioned directly facing the camera, with its opening pointing upwards. The number "954" is printed in white on the bottom center of the bottle. The background of the image is light-colored and appears to be a flat surface.
