Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle by Chinese artist, is a dark brown, shiny snuff bottle with a rounded body and a narrow neck. The bottle has a small, round stopper on top, which is a lighter shade of brown than the rest of the bottle. Two small, ornate handles are attached to either side of the bottle. The base of the bottle is decorated with an intricate design. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The bottle appears to be made of a glossy material, possibly a type of stone or ceramic. It sits on a decorative stand.
