Description
"DRAGON" SNUFF BOTTLE
White porcelain snuff bottle, 3" tall, decorated with a painted red dragon surrounded by flames. Sealed by a filigree metal stopper with an attached carved wood spoon. Bears an illegible seal stamp at the base. These bottles were used to carry snuff tobacco, which was permitted in nineteenth-century China for nominally medicinal purposes, while other forms of tobacco were outlawed. Very good.
