Jesuit missionaries brought snuff, or powdered tobacco, to China in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. Its use spread quickly, leading to a need for small containers to hold it.

Many were collected for their exoticism, as the eighteenth century was a time of fascination with foreign, especially Western, taste.Free picture Snuff Bottle with European Woman and Child integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
