Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had become an important social prop.

The use of this arrangement in Japan can be traced to the Kamakura period (1185-1333), when it was standard practice in Zen temples to place offerings before an image of the Buddha. With the spread of religious architecture into secular contexts in the Muromachi period (1392-1573), the implements became part of the formal decoration of the tokonoma alcove..
