Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by Artist. The snuff bottle is made of pale green jade with dark inclusions. It has a rounded body that tapers to a narrow neck, then flares slightly at the mouth, which is covered by a green stone stopper with a white band. Two small, dark handles are on either side of the neck. The bottle sits on a decorative base with a carved design. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The image is framed with a white border on the right and bottom.
