The Summer Collection represents an eclectic collection of snuff bottles, the beautiful historical artefacts that became popular at the royal court in China from the late 17th century.
Examples include a range of disparate materials from glass, black jade, and porcelain to agate, aquamarine and gold. Each of these materials, sensitively worked by skilled artisans of the period, brings forth the individuality of the object – connecting you at once to local personal histories of the time and a broader cultural identity of Qing Dynasty China.
