Asian art and antique snuff bottles(1)

Leah's Art and Antique House has been entrusted by a collector to auction over a thousand snuff bottles. These snuff bottles have been passed down through his collection. Snuff bottles were products from the Qing Dynasty and were primarily used to hold powdered tobacco. During the golden period of the Qing Dynasty, many snuff bottles were sold overseas to earn foreign currency. In fact, some of the earliest written works about snuff bottles come from Western countries. Snuff bottles can have similar styles, designs, and even materials. Our website, http://leahartantique.com, provides detailed descriptions and explanations. The collector has put in a lot of effort to study and compare the nature of these bottles and to compare them with others on the market for reference. This allows both experienced collectors and newcomers to understand the historical background, artistic significance, and symbolic stories behind the pieces. Almost all materials used in Chinese antiques can be found in snuff bottles. This auction consists of 53 Lot of snuff bottles, covering a wide range of materials. We are not an appraisal institution; the explanations provided are based on the personal experiences of collector. Ultimately, bidders need to make their own decisions and judgments.
