A snuff bottle stopper features a domed cloisonné enamel top detailed with red, green, and blue floral patterns outlined in gold. A flat golden disk sits at the dome's base, connecting to a small brown cylindrical plug. From the plug, a long, slender cream-colored rod tapers into a flattened, pointed tip, serving as a dipper.
