A set of five inside-painted glass snuff bottles is a feast for the senses. Each bottle has been meticulously decorated with colourful depictions of flowers and birds, including cranes and peacocks. The calligraphy on the sides adds to the elegance of these masterfully crafted bottles. With stoppers included, this set comes in a beautiful gift box. The tradition of snuff-taking has a long and storied history in China, dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Snuff, powdered tobacco, was introduced to China from the West in the early 17th century and quickly became a popular pastime among the upper classes. Snuff bottles, small containers designed to hold and dispense snuff, became a highly prized accessory during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and were often made from precious materials such as jade, ivory, and glass. The inside-painted glass snuff bottle is a unique and highly specialized form of snuff bottle art, dating back to the 18th century. The technique involves painting a miniature scene or design on the inside of a glass bottle using a tiny brush, working through the neck of the bottle. The intricate and delicate nature of this art form requires great skill and patience, as well as a steady hand and a keen eye for detail.Size: L:95-100mm / W:55-58mm ; 540g
