Chinese traditional glass snuff bottles, particularly those featuring koi fish, originated in the 18th-century Qing Dynasty and were designed to store tobacco, which was valued for its medicinal properties while smoking was banned.
Koi-themed bottles often use "inside painting" (Nei Hua) techniques, a 19th-century innovation where artists painted intricate, reversed images inside translucent glass bottles.
