Lots 1-121 Snuff Bottles: Including the property of an Ohio, aPhiladelphia and a Florida collection all to be offered without reserveSince the 17th century, the snuff bottle has been both an endearing and enduring iconof Chinese decorative arts. The small utilitarian bottle is a descendant of the personal,pocket-sized medicine bottles utilized in China for centuries. Its eventual role as asymbol of status and taste took the form well beyond the confines of merefunctionality and resulted in a craft that inspired many of China’s best carvers andincorporated the finest available materials.Pipe tobacco was introduced to the imperial Ming court in the 16th century andenjoyed some decades of popularity among the general population until theestablishment of the Qing dynasty in the 17th century brought the prohibition ofsmoking. Tobacco users found some respite in the form of snuff. Considered asubstance akin to herbal medicines, powdered tobacco remained legal throughout thedynasty and entered into the social customs of the era as a gentlemanly indulgence.The sharing of snuff among Chinese men led to the snuff bottle’s adoption as acommon accessory and subsequent status symbol. Soon, precious gemstones, metals,organic substances and more were being utilized by the country’s best craftsmen tomeet a demand for finer and more valuable bottles than those that had come before.The crafting of intricate and precious snuff bottles, which continued long after theirfunction became irrelevant, stands as a unique cornerstone of the Chinese decorativearts tradition. While the finest known bottles date from the 18th century, goodexamples from throughout the Qing and Republic periods still capture the attention ofavid collectors and command strong prices at auction.
