Snuff bottles were used in China during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) to hold snuff, a type of powdered tobacco. This snuff bottle is marked "Made in the Qianlong era" on the back. "Made in the Qianlong era" refers to the reign of Emperor Gaozong Qianlong of the Qing dynasty (reigned 1736-1795), and is a mark found on the underside of porcelain made in official kilns during that period, or items from that era. The Qianlong era is considered the peak of development in Chinese art, and porcelain from that period is highly valued and popular even today. It measures 8cm in height, 6cm in width, and 3.3cm in depth. This is a beautiful, unused item that has been carefully stored.
