History of Chinese Snuff Bottles
Throughout history, people have been using various types of containers to store tobacco and other forms of smoking materials. Many times these containers were called "snuff bottles" and they were commonly used by both men and women throughout the world. Snuff bottles were commonly used during the Qing Dynasty in China to contain ground powdered tobacco. Smoking tobacco was only illegal during the Qing Dynasty since the Chinese regarded snuff as a cure for common diseases like colds, headaches and diarrhea. This is the reason why you will often see Chinese people throughout the centuries smoking in large quantities while sitting in front of their fireplaces. There is a great deal of nostalgia and fondness for this time in history when people would gather around their fireplaces to enjoy the warmth of the flames and the relaxing smoke that were produced by the act of smoking.
