About Us

“At present, we specialize in auctioning snuff bottles. We are grateful for the trust of an anonymous collector with over 20 years of collecting experience, who has allowed us to auction off his collection of over a thousand snuff bottles. We will hold an auction once a month and make every effort to introduce each snuff bottle. While we cannot claim to be authoritative appraisers, even appraisers can make mistakes. If you can find Qing dynasty snuff bottles here, why not make the most of it?

Snuff bottles were created during the Qing dynasty and were initially used to hold tobacco powder. They were also symbols of status for emperors, court officials, and nobility. During the mid-Qing period, including the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, snuff bottles were exported to Western countries for sale or as gifts, reaching a peak in the Qianlong period, also they were used widely, and even ordinary rich citizens could use and make them. Snuff bottles continued to be produced until the late Qing and early Republic of China (RoC) periods, with many finding their way to Western collections. The first book on the study of snuff bottles was also written by Western collectors.

Whether you’re an experienced collector of snuff bottles or a novice with an interest in collecting them, you can find what you love here. Please follow us, thank you!”
