Snuff Bottle with Gold Sparkles

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a Snuff Bottle with Gold Sparkles by an unknown artist. The snuff bottle is made of brown glass or stone with gold sparkles throughout. The body of the bottle is bulbous with a narrow neck. The base of the bottle is rounded and flat. The stopper is green on top and orange around the edges. The background is dark at the top and lightens to gray towards the bottom. The bottle casts a shadow on the surface below it.
