Subject:Reclining Lady Snuff Bottle--Junk or nice?
Posted By: Jim H Wed, May 11, 2016 IP: 50.153.245.116

I avoid snuff bottles, because they are so rife with fakes, and for me hard to date. Does anyone have any sense if this newish for export or early 19th centruy. I guess the former, but hoped someone in the Asian Arts Forum community might offer me some insights. Thanks in advance.

From this single picture, it looks like an over-sized boy's head had been affixed onto a girl's body. Unless you like such combinations, how can this even be considered "nice"?
