Snuff Bottles were used by the Chinese during the Qing Dynasty to contain Tobacco powder/Opium.Smoking Tobacco was illegal during the Dynasty, but the use of snuffwas allowed because the Chinese considered snuff to be a remedy forcommon illnesses such as colds, headachesand stomach disorders. Therefore, snuff was carried in a small bottlelike other medicines. The snuff bottle is comparable to the snuff box used by Europeans. The size of a snuff bottle is small enough to fit nicely inside thepalm. The stopperusually had a very small spoon attached for extracting the snuff.
