Subject:Jade Snuff Bottle with hanging loops
Posted By: Daniel Bradbury Wed, Jan 22, 2020 IP: 86.176.212.11 Purchased three similar snuff bottles in an auction recently auction stated that the box was a mixture of brik-a-brak i wonder if this has any age and value? Seems to be of a heart shape with some decoration and has a bat to the base? And two small hanging loops to the top sadly one has some damage to these loops :( |

Posted By: Stan Fri, Jan 24, 2020 It looks fairly well executed. However, I think it is modern. The bat (especially the eye) looks like it was carved with a modern rotary tool. |

Posted By: Stan Sat, Jan 25, 2020 I should add that likely it is meant to be a peach. If it is not obvious, that is not a good sign. The peach and bat are auspicious symbols in China. |
