Posted By: Cordelia Sat, Jan 17, 2015 Its quite difficult to tell from these photos... I have several cinnabars including a couple of snuff bottles... One featuring four fingered dragons and two orange jade bis has a very similar colour to this piece... I think it looks right tbh but there are a lot of convincing resin ones about so quite tricky without seeing it in the flesh as it were... You should avoid handling it much and always wash your hands as real cinnabar contains mercury....
