snuff bottles
Small ornate vessels
Snuff bottles are small decorative containers designed to hold powdered tobacco (snuff).
Originating in China during the Qing dynasty, they became prized objects of craftsmanship, made from jade, glass, porcelain, ivory, or other materials, often intricately carved or painted from the inside.
Today they're primarily collected as art objects rather than used for their original purpose.
