About the Item

A rare carved antique Chinese lapis lazuli stone snuff bottle of the late Qing Dynasty. Finely carved from a solid piece of genuine lapis lazuli exhibiting rich and vibrant blue tone and saturation. Together with its original fitting lapis gemstone cap. Qing dynasty stone snuff bottles were small, ornate containers for powdered tobacco, prized as status symbols and objects of art. Made from a wide variety of stones like jade, agate, and chalcedony, these bottles were intricately carved or polished to showcase the stone's natural colors and patterns, sometimes incorporating natural flaws into the design. These snuff bottles became popular during the Qing dynasty (1644 - 1911) and were used by the elite as accessories, gifts, and for medicinal purposes to treat ailments like headaches and colds.
