Description: Snuff bottles were used by the Chinese as early as Ming Dynasty to contain powdered tobacco. Smoking tobacco was illegal during the Dynasty but the use of snuff was allowed because the Chinese considered snuff to be a remedy for common illnesses such as headaches, colds, and stomach disorders. Therefore, snuff was carried in a small bottle like other medicines. The process of making inside painted bottles is extremely complex. It has been said that a skilled artist may complete a simple bottles in a week while something more detailed may take a month or more and that the best craftsmen will produce only a few bottles in a year.
