I don't that much about snuff bottles, but that is the biggest and most ornate stand .
Is this a master snuff, like you would put your snuff in it and then refill your smaller snuff bottle.

If so, it is amazing that is lasted so long. One would think that any little temperature shock would have cause it to crack up. It is a very neat piece of glass.
