A Silver Snuff Box
‘A tobacco snuff box is a small container that was traditionally used to carry snuff, finely ground tobacco meant to be inhaled (or "snuffed") through the nose. These were especially popular from the 17th century through the 19th century, though their use peaked in the 18th century among European aristocracy and upper classes.’
