Snuff bottles were constructed in a variety of shapes, designs, and materials, but all included a stopper and ivory-handled spoon. Usually small enough to be held in the hand, they could be fashioned from glass, porcelain, minerals (such as quartz crystal, jade, and gemstones), or organic materials such as amber, lacquer, coral, ivory (including the particularly valuable hornbill ivory), and tortoiseshell. Many bottles were fashioned into shapes scarcely resembling traditional bottles, including representational figures of humans and animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"beadbear.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48206747435200,"sku":"g0323-apatite-snuff-bottle","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7092\/6272\/files\/g0323-apatite-pearl-snuff.jpg?v=1777156399"}],"url":"https:\/\/beadbear.myshopify.com\/collections\/lariats.oembed","provider":"Beadbear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
