It is a precious collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, belonging to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty in China (1736-1795). Emperor Qianlong is one of the famous emperors in Chinese history. This snuff bottle is made of copper and features painted enamel craftsmanship, which was highly valued at the time and typically only possessed by royalty and nobility. It is depicted with European figures, indicating that it may have been influenced by Western art or catered to the European market. This work is not only a practical container, but also a witness to the exchange of Chinese and Western cultures. By Noah L Mrs. Butkin donated it as a gift for the 75th anniversary of the museum's establishment.
