A cloisonné enamel snuff bottle features a bulbous body narrowing into a short neck atop a flat gold foot. Gold wires outline scrolling green vines and white flowers with red tips against a bright turquoise background. This floral design repeats in a smaller scale on bands of dark blue and green that encircle the neck and base. The vessel has a smooth, glossy finish and gold-toned rim, showcasing intricate craftsmanship.
