The snuff bottle, as an outstanding representative of Chinese traditional craftsmanship, integrates painting, carving, calligraphy, and other arts, showcasing the exquisite skills of ancient artisans and the profound cultural connotations of Chinese civilization. This paper traces the historical origins of snuff bottles, analyzes the diversity of their materials, shapes, and decorative techniques, and explores their evolution from practical objects to artistic treasures. The study highlights that the craftsmanship of Qing Dynasty snuff bottles combines traditional techniques such as jade carving, enamel painting, and inner painting. Their patterns and shapes carry auspicious meanings, status symbols, and cultural philosophies, making them an important carrier of Chinese culture. The contemporary inheritance of snuff bottle craftsmanship not only preserves traditional aesthetics but also holds practical significance for promoting national culture and enhancing cultural confidence.
