Yellow Snuff Bottle With Birds

Dimensions: 3 inches
Description: During the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1912), snuff bottles became popular symbols of status, crafted from materials like glass, jade, and ivory. They featured stoppers with miniature spoons and intricate designs, including landscapes and calligraphy. Some bottles were painted inside, showcasing artisans' skill. With the decline of snuff-taking in the late 19th century, these bottles became valued collectibles and admired works of Chinese art. Today, they are prized by collectors worldwide for their craftsmanship and historical significance.
