Description from the seller

These snuff bottles are traditional, often of Asian origin (such as China or Japan), used to store powdered snuff. The middle specimen features detailed engravings of birds beneath willow branches, while the other two display geometric reliefs that mimic wicker or basketry patterns.

Dimensions:
6.8 x 4.3 x 2.3 cm / 69 g
6 x 4 x 2.5 cm / 54 g
5.5 x 4 x 2.3 cm / 53 g
