According to Hugh Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles: the Mary and George Bloch Collection, Hong Kong, 1995, Jade, Vol. I, p. 124, there was a demand for snuff bottles from foreigners in China from the mid-19th century until the end of the Qing dynasty and into the early Republic. During that time, many jade carvings were converted into snuff bottles.
