A snuff bottle is a container for holding snuff, which is delicate, compact, and easy to carry. During the Qing Dynasty, inhaling snuff became a popular trend among all social classes, and the pursuit of the material and craftsmanship of snuff bottles was even more extreme. The National Palace Museum in Taipei has a large collection of the most exquisitely crafted snuff bottles from the Qing Dynasty. This Yongzheng style enamel snuff bottle is made of milky white glass in the shape of bamboo nodes, with a color resembling spotted bamboo. There are brown spots on the green and yellow ground, and two small insects on the bamboo nodes. The bottom is painted with Lingzhi Kai Guang, and the red version of the regular script "Made in Yongzheng Year" is inside.
