Universe in a Bottle: Treasures of Snuff Bottles (壺裏乾坤—鼻煙壺珍品展). The snuff bottle is a combination of several Chinese crafts including carving, calligraphy, porcelain firing and inlay work. The materials determine what type of snuff bottle the master craftsman would create, and the craftsman created these miniature art works through the techniques of glass overlaying, glazing, inner painting, engraving and lacquering. This exhibition puts together nearly 200 snuff bottles made from jadeite, glass, jade, porcelain, lacquerware, quartz, bamboo, wood, ivory, metal and other materials.
