Chinese Snuff Bottles
Chinesische Schnupftabakfläschchen
Chinese snuff bottles, and the tobacco which they contained, were at the heart of a fashion unprecedented in China's long history. The masterpieces of this miniature art, characterised by its stylistic diversity and wasteful use of materials, are among the outstanding examples of Quing Dynasty (1644-1912) craftsmanship.
