From the Palace Museum

Kind of interesting that although more flat like a plate, the description due to snuff use sticks to a "dish" description.

hm.. seems odd to me. Never seen a flat surface for snuff dishes, always concave.  Seems very difficult to grab the snuff this way.

Thanks for sharing George,

Very interesting indeed, the enamel painting is sure a typical Qianlong style, prosperous and rich..
