"Catalogue of an exhibition at the Walters Art Museum September 30-December 9, 2018 held in conjunction with the 50th Annual Convention of the International Chinese Snuff Battle Society." This book is like an exhibition of the rare and unique piece of snuff bottles. An outstanding selection of more than 250 Chinese snuff bottles will be on view in the galleries of the Walters palazzo-style court. These delicately crafted objects were selected from regional private collections as well as from the museum s holdings. Snuff bottle collectors collect as many books as they do bottles. And it is recognized that the more books, journals and catalogues there are in any field in the arts, the more the objects themselves as perceived as high culture. Books and catalogues serve other functions depending on how a collector uses them. They inspire us to collect at a higher level; they are a method of displaying the collection; they increase the value of our collections; they pander to the ego of the collector and, most importantly, they serve to immortalize a collection. It is essential as snuff bottle collectors that we share knowledge through books and catalogues. This book aims at making it to come true.&#65279.…
