Snuff Bottles - The Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art

Snuff bottles are containers for snuff, a type of powdered tobacco mixed with aromatic herbs. Snuff was initially stored in small boxes in Europe. Snuff was introduced into China by European missionaries in the mid-17th century and gained its popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries. Chinese switched to using small bottles with narrow necks
