Sorry folks but I can't keep quiet about this .. we seem to forget the ground rules here for calling things snuff bottles. If it was not made for daily use of snuffing it is NOT a snuff bottle. One could argue that it applies even to modern inside painted bottles I suppose. This one is decorative at best and at worst it is 40 years old (being very generous here).
