The brecciated jasper pebble was carved into a snuff bottle by an experienced craftsman who selected to use the best sides of the stone. As a result, this is a very dramatic and attractive snuff bottle. It is in a flattened rectangular shape with sloping shoulders and sides ending in a short raised oval foot. Its cap is matched with a similar stone with a brighter and redder stone encased in cork, the stopper is cork and the spoon is brass.
