Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by Imari. The bottle is on a small stand. It has a bulbous body, and a short neck with a domed lid. A red, black and cream band encircles the top; the body is predominantly a brown ceramic, with a streak down the center in lavender and blue, with black dots. Two protruding, raised shapes on the sides appear to be animal ears. The base curves inward before flaring out slightly where it meets the stand. The dark wooden stand has curved cutout detailing. The background is off-white.
