During the mid- to late Qing dynasty, burlwood snuff bottles seemed to have become popular as relatively inexpensive bottles for the growing private market as the habit of taking snuff spread throughout the empire. This dated cylindrical example is related to that group of bottles by its material, but it is otherwise unique and no other burlwood bottle appears to be dated. The shape is a rare one for a wooden bottle, and was presumably inspired by the cylindrical porcelain bottles so popular during the second half of the Qing dynasty.
