Galloping Horses Snuff Bottle Featured

Both Chinese snuff bottles, as well as the tobacco powder contained by the Chinese snuff bottles were at the very core of a fashion whose popularity had never before been experienced in Chinese extensive history. Due to it's exceptional versatility of style, technique and material, all in one small object, as well as the fine craftsmanship, these tiny masterpieces quickly became one of the most notable representations of the use of artistic skill throughout the Qing Dynasty.

During the 1700's snuff increased in popularity among the Chinese, which created a great demand for Snuff Bottles. They became conversation pieces and collectable items almost immediately. Collecting snuff bottles became the newest nationwide habit, and it spread to all of the social classes with the actual snuff-taking, at the very end of the eighteenth century. The finer the snuff bottle, the more respected was its owner.

Snuff bottles were made out of every material of which the Chinese knew. This included glass, porcelain, jade and other hardstones, ivory, coral, lacquer, amber, wood, etc

• “ I just received the green spring dress that I ordered for a summer wedding. Miranda was very helpful in letting me know that they had only larger sizes left in stock. She worked hard to find a smaller size and included a beautiful pair of earrings along in my order for the trouble. The dress is gorgeous, and I wear the earrings frequently. Thank you for your exceptional service and great products! I will be placing more orders with you in the future! Megan Washington„
