This eye-popping book clearly and visually explores the history,
types, and value ranges of Chinese snuff bottles from the 17th
century to the present as no other book has. It concentrates mostly
on affordable examples and explains how these can be just as
important as their more expensive cousins. These small pretty
objects are a reflection of the popularity of snuffing tobacco,
particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, the bottles are
avidly collected for their beauty, variety, and high level of
craftsmanship. Here, 340 diverse bottles of stone, glass, enamels,
porcelain, and other materials are shown in beautiful color
photographs. Once you have read the book, you'll want to touch the
bottles; and once you've touched them, you'll want to own some. The
problem then will be when to stop, if ever.
