About the Item
A mixture of finely powdered tobacco, herbs, and spices, snuff was introduced to China in the 17th century by Western diplomats. Initially reserved for ranking members of Qing-dynasty society, the practice provided an opportunity to display one's refined aesthetic through collectible snuff bottles.
This early 20th-century snuff bottle is made of a polished walnut shell, lightly carved with eighteen luohan figures. The eighteen luohan are the personal disciples of Buddha and the guardians of Buddhist adherents. This petite snuff bottle is a fantastic example of Chinese walnut carving and has been fitted with a black plastic stopper holding a bone snuff spoon.
