The sloping shoulder also follow the tapering ending in flat oval foot with a slightly concave center. On the contrary the short neck has rather wide round opening.

In the period of the 1920's, there was a revival of the snuff bottle making. Old craftsmen who used to work in the Beijing Palace Workshops were invited to the workshops to train younger apprentices in their craft.
