2587:: Snuff Bottle, Sterling Silver, octagonal, Cherry Blossoms, cork stopper.
Ca.1875, Asia, I’m guessing Japan.
Dimensions: 42mm Height, 23mm square.
Its stopper was absent, so I hand-carved a new one from a wine bottle cork. Few people use powdered tobacco snuff anymore, however cannabis is now legal and plentiful. This would allow a legal amount for daily carry (where permitted).
