Snuff bottles were conceived as precious containers for ground tobacco imported into China, these bottles were initially made for the emperor and the court, and eventually produced in much greater quantities for a public who enjoyed their functionality as well as their display as symbols of status. These exquisite miniatures, which measure between one-and-a-half and three inches high, not only illustrate the technical virtuosity of Qing dynasty craftsmen, but also provide a window on life and culture in late imperial China. Our collection of handmade snuff bottles is the perfect combination of creativity of the sexual position as well as the philosophy and theory of love, what triggers desire and what sustains it.
