A relic of the Art Deco era, this pink glass perfume bottle has been retrofitted with a small carved bone spoon for use as a stylish snuff bottle. A mixture of finely powdered tobacco, herbs, and spices, snuff provided an opportunity to display one's refined aesthetic through collectible snuff bottles. An unusual 20th-century example, this perfume-turned-snuff bottle brings a playful, modern form to a long-running tradition.

Bottle has a small chip on one side.
