Twin Snuff Bottles by an unknown artist: Two snuff bottles connected side by side on a green-yellow background with an orange-red grid pattern. The bottles are decorated with raised orange-red and green enamel on a vine and floral pattern. The green necks of the snuff bottles have white and orange-red bands around them with geometric shapes. They feature orange-red stoppers with a white and orange-red band at the bottom. The snuff bottles are mounted on a black wooden stand with carvings on the top edge and three feet. The background is grey.
