Very reminiscent of Schumacher's iconic Chiang Mai Dragon pattern. The bottles are three different shapes, each depicting the dragon motif with a jade stopper and an attached small spoon.

Conceived as precious containers for ground tobacco imported into China, snuff bottles were initially made for the emperor and the court. Smoking tobacco was illegal during the Qing Dynasty, but the use of snuff was allowed because the Chinese considered snuff to be a remedy for common illnesses such as colds, headaches, and stomach disorders. Now these bottles are highly collectible for their detail and beauty.
