Introduction to Snuff Bottle
Snuff bottles have a long history of about 300 years and occupy a unique position in Tibetan art. One of the most fascinating things about Tibetan art is the creation of Snuff bottles. Snuff was once quite popular among Tibetans. Various snuff containers, such as snuff boxes and bottles, were designed and made for the snuff-takers. No matter whether they were rich or poor, there were always suitable ones for them. But nowadays, you know, the cigarette is overrunning worldwide. The snuff bottle tends to be more like a plaything or ornament with ingenious techniques, a stylish appearance, and good portability.
