AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered is a very refined and exclusive snuff bottle from a private collection. The photos give a good and realistic view of the condition and color of the object.

In the lot, both sides of the snuff bottle are well depicted by indicating “Side A” on the photo and “Side B” on the photo.

The snuff bottle is in good condition but has one small imperfection on Side B. It concerns a very small blemish of 1 mm. Barely noticeable to the naked eye, but for the completeness of the lot clearly noted and photographed. Additionally, the object has no other damages besides the usual signs of aging given its age.

The snuff bottle has a flattened rectangular shape, is made of glass, and has a deep black color.
