The silver bottle has a beautiful tarnished appearance that shows its age. The form is a flattened pear shape that tapers to a well made raise oval foot. The workmanship of this bottle is better than most of the antique and vintage ones made for the Mongolian market. On each side is a roundel of raised floral designs with a center star shaped or six petal flower with a inset of turquoise in the center and coral beads on the side. On each shoulder is a nicely formed mythical creature with a movable ring. On each side of the tall neck is a teardrop shape coral supported by two round turquoise beads. The stopper is made of the same silver material as is the spoon. The craftsmanship is excellent, and shows all over the snuff bottle.
