Sorry folks but I can't keep quiet about this .. we seem to forget the ground rules here. If it was not made for daily use of snuffing it is NOT a snuff bottle . This is decorative at best and at worst it is 40 years old (being very generous here).

Maybe so Pat, but not only do we have a section to the forum for "other snuff related containers", but for me, just that it is "snuff container related" makes a piece interesting ..

That is why I shared the Taino Cohoba ( Psychotropic snuff ) effigy.  Although not a Chinese snuff bottle, I think it ok and relevant for interesting discussion on the forum..

I just don't believe a piece necessarily needs to have been or currently "used daily" for snuffing, and also not confined to Chinese.

I do not recall any "ground rules" as you mention for the forum about this..
