Description
Asian Peacock Carved Turquoise Snuff Bottle.
Snuff bottles have reared great fascination to Western and Asian collectors since their birth in the early 18th century. They were first imported into China, and were used as precious containers for high quality tobacco. Due to their rarity and high price tag, they were only available for the emperor and members of the court. It wasn't until later they were produced in higher quantities for the public, who loved their functionality and symbol of status.
