Classic Verre Snuff Bottle
From top to bottom the basic form of a cast Verre snuff bottle begins with a reinforced rim, a long narrow neck, a bulbous body decorated with a concentric design and a pointed terminus. The bottom nub allows for the vessel to be wrapped in leather to make it portable. An integral loop anchors the stopper’s strap. Much variation is possible within the form: necks can be longer or shorter; the bulb can be fat or elongated, bulging in the middle or flattened front to back. This example is right in the middle- a classic with its original stopper. 5″ tall. Mounted.
