Snuff Bottles and China Trade
The last three hundred years of dynastic China saw a great exchange of culture. Styles and trends followed trade and extended contact.
Often with the very wealthy and early adopters of both sides of the exchange becoming completely transfixed by the arts of the other. Snuff bottles were produced using almost every possible material of the Qing Dynasty.
