Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Snuff Bottle by unknown artist shows a brown glass snuff bottle on a stand. The bottle is elongated and narrow, with a rounded body that tapers to a narrow neck. The bottle has a glossy finish and exhibits shades of brown with a darker brown and blue rim. A small, rounded stopper made of a lighter brown material, possibly amber or wood, sits atop the bottle. The bottle rests on a black stand with ornate carvings at the base, which has three small feet. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
