Snuff Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Snuff Bottle by an unknown artist. The image shows a gray, rounded snuff bottle with a short neck and a small, rounded stopper. The bottle is decorated with carved designs including flowers, leaves, and a bird. The body of the bottle is bulbous, wider at the bottom than at the top. The stopper is small and rounded, made of a similar material to the bottle. The background of the image is light grey, with the bottle casting a slight shadow on the surface below it. The bottle appears to be made of a smooth, polished material, possibly stone or glass. The carved designs on the bottle are intricate and detailed, adding texture and visual interest to the overall shape.
