The habit of snuff-taking spread to China from the West during the 17th century and became established in the 18th century. People generally carried snuff in a small bottle. By the 20th century these bottles had become collectors' items, owing to the great variety of materials and decorative techniques used in their production.","physicalDescription":"The bottle is an oblong flattened flask form with a dome shaped stopper.\r\nIt is made of glass, transparent grey, painted on the inside in grey, black, green, white and red. The stopper is made of green glass.\r\nThe decoration depicts a landscape with a boat on a lake, buildings, trees and mountains.\r\nThere is an inscription meaning 'Done after the manner of Changbai Shanren' and on the reverse a bird singing on the branch of a tree peony growing among rocks.\r\nThe high faceted foot has a shallow indentation underneath.\r\n<font i>Changbai Shanren</font>. 'Hermit of the Long Mountain', would have been the studio name of the painter whose work was here being emulated.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"glass","id":"AAT10797"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painting (image-making)","id":"AAT54216"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Transparent grey glass bottle, painted on the inside in grey, black, green, white and red, with green glass stopper","categories":[{"text":"ELISE","id":"THES48961"},{"text":"Containers","id":"THES48972"},{"text":"Personal accessories","id":"THES48912"}],"styles":[{"text":"Qing","id":"AAT18478"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"EAS","id":"THES48596"},"images":["2021MW2718","2006AU9233"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES363112"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES363112"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Snuff bottle","id":""}],[{"text":"Stopper","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"China","id":"x29398"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1890-1908","earliest":"1890-01-01","latest":"1908-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Charles Lund, Esq.","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"6.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"Chinese","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"'Done after the manner of Changbai Shanren'","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Chinese"}],"objectHistory":"Given by Mr. Charles Lund, accessioned in 1908.
