About the Item

This extraordinary itradani, or traditional snuff bottle, is a one-of-a-kind objet d’art meticulously carved from a single piece of natural Russian emerald tumble—an exceptional feat of craftsmanship. The emerald has been hollowed from inside keeping the top intact to make space for itar/perfume. The emerald, revered across Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures for its spiritual and royal symbolism, forms the body of this rare collector’s piece. Set with vibrant rubies and glimmering diamond polkis in delicate Mughal-style arrangements, 2 motifs of bird sitting on flower is inlaid across the bottle recalling the splendour of imperial Royal courts. Each polki and ruby is placed with precision, enhancing the natural contours and translucency of the emerald while preserving its raw beauty. Topping this treasure is a sculptural 22K gold stopper, beautifully shaped in the form of a bird—symbolic of divine guidance and spiritual elevation in both Islamic and Mughal iconography. The bird is set with a gold stick at the bottom to hold the perfume, star or vermilion which needs to be applied. Once used to store precious itr (perfume) or snuff, this bottle transcends functionality to become a museum-worthy artefact. Whether displayed in a curated collection or gifted as a legacy heirloom, it is a testament to the grandeur of Mughal craftsmanship and the timeless elegance of Indian and Islamic decorative art.
