The mark, written in modern simplified form, reads from the right as "Old Moon Terrace" (Gu Yue Xuan - 古月轩). Gerald Davison notes in his 2013 edition of "The New & Revised Handbook of Marks on Chinese Ceramics" that "Guyuexuan" appeared in marks "on a small group of imperial porcelain objects of the highest quality" made in the 18th century and decorated in famille rose enamels. Such marks have been widely copied, which is the case with this late 20th century or subsequent glass snuff bottle in what appears to be famille verte enamels.

Best regards,

Bill H.
