Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist shows a dark brown snuff bottle on a stand. The bottle features an elongated neck and a rounded body. The top portion features a glossy appearance; the lower portion features a more matte appearance. A darker brown stopper with a gold band around the bottom is present at the top. Four bumps are on either side of the neck, near the body. The base features embossed text. The base sits on a dark-colored stand with a wide base and four legs, each with curved ends. The background is off-white, with a subtle shadow cast by the bottle and stand.
