From the 17th century the Chinese adapted medicine bottles to make them into snuff bottles, because the European snuff boxes were not good for the climate in China. This is not a snuff bottle; however, it has been made in something of that form. It has a silver foot and at the top there is a silver collar. Then there is a beautifully wrought and designed top with a crystal inset at the very top. There is a shaft that goes down into the bottle that had some kind of a fabric covering on it. The truth is that the purpose of this bottle is not really clear. Because of the fabric element that is inside, it could possibly have been used to soak up a scent making it a kind of Chinese perfume bottle. Or it could have been a medicine that was kept in the bottle. In any case, this is undoubtedly the property of a wealthy person with some kind of very individual use that it was used for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003esize: 2-3\/4 X 1-1\/4 X 5\/8 INCHES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Robyn Buntin of Honolulu Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47623659552957,"sku":"8567","price":2583.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/5686\/8541\/files\/image_616cdfab-b3f7-4fb8-aa99-472a74a41f3a.jpg?v=1783636488","url":"https:\/\/robynbuntin.com\/en-ca\/products\/item-8567-jadeite-bottle","provider":"Robyn Buntin of Honolulu Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
