    Description

    An extremely rare antique opium snuff jar. It's 2.5" tall and measures apprx 1.75" across the middle. It's in a balloon shape. This one is missing the lid. (I have 3 more of different sizes and shapes). It's handpainted in tradition blues and white. The picture is that of men sitting around each other. It's hard to make out what some of the drawings are of. See pictures. I'm told it's what the Chinese used in the late 1800's to snuff opium. No breaks or cracks. It has a cork but that's not the original lid. It was purchased in a group of estate items from China many years ago. It will be mailed via priority mail with insurance.
