Chinese jade snuff bottle, a traditional vessel used for holding powdered tobacco. These miniatures were highly prized during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911) as both functional items and displays of technical virtuosity. Material: The body is crafted from a pale, mottled light green stone. Stopper: It features a distinct dark green stone stopper set in a metallic collar. Carving Style: The body is decorated with relief carvings. While the "swirls" are prominent, they often represent stylized chilong (dragons) or floral motifs like vines and leaves. It is presented on a carved dark wood base, which is standard for high-quality antique Chinese snuff bottles to ensure they stand upright.
