Antique Hand Carved Ivory Snuff Bottle

Here is one of the more interesting snuff bottles I have. It is an antique from around the early to mid 1800s and is real Elephant Ivory.  Unfortunately the stopper with the spoon was missing when I purchased it, like a lot of very old snuff bottles. It is hand carved into the shape of a pepper with a lady bug and caterpillar on it. This bottle is maybe 2.5 to 3 inches long. It is one of the ones currently in storage. When I get them out I will add more pictures of this one. Here is one for now. Enjoy!
