Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by Unknown Artist. The image shows a black and white photo of a snuff bottle. The bottle is made of dark-colored material, possibly ceramic or glass, with a rounded body that tapers slightly at the bottom. The neck of the bottle is short and wide, with a small lip around the top. A spherical stopper with a narrow ring around its base sits atop the bottle. The surface of the bottle appears to have a textured, speckled appearance. The background of the image is a plain light-colored surface, possibly a table or shelf, with the bottle casting a faint shadow.
