Snuff bottle (5) - Metal

A beautiful set of five handmade Asian snuff bottles, probably Tibetan or Nepalese, presumably silver-plated and richly decorated with inlaid turquoise.

These decorative miniature bottles were traditionally used for snuff or perfume and are characterized by their refined engravings, filigree work, and symbolic motifs such as flowers, dragons, and traditional good-luck symbols.

The set consists of five different models:
• 2 round, flat snuff boxes with engraved dragon motifs and turquoise cabochons
• 1 richly decorated spherical model with a chain and accompanying spoon
• 1 smaller model with multicolored stone inlay (turquoise & coral)
• 1 larger, vase-shaped model with floral relief decoration
