Snuff Bottle Forms

The Asian Art department has a long standing sale of small and highly-detailed snuff bottles. They came to us in a year when the speciality case used in seasons past had broken. They were looking for a new case, but in talking with them and hearing their needs, I realized that a set of custom forms would be the right solution. I studied standard case sizes, massing of the snuff bottles, typical property count, and display. I tested prototypes and the end result has been a set of forms that are flexible in their use. They fill an entire case seamlessly or can be used individually, creating various heights of display.
