拍品資料及來源

With many double snuff bottles, the two containers are of different shape, colour, or decoration, helping the snuffer remember which bottle contained which variety of snuff. In the case of a bottle such as this, however, where the two halves are indistinguishable, common sense tells us that having stoppers of two different colours would accomplish the same purpose. That would seem to be the case here.
