Subject:Inside painted snuff bottle marks
Posted By: CAH Sat, Aug 16, 2014 IP: 184.187.145.72
Can anyone please tell me what the first row of marks read?
I believe the second row reads Qin Shi Huangdi, but don't know what the first row says.
Thanks

You're right about the second stack reading "Qin Shihuang" (259-210 BCE).

The first stack is a cyclical date of "Made during the Xinwei Year" (Xinwei nian zuo - 辛未年作), equivalent to 1931 or 1991 from what I can see of the painting style on your bottle.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Thanks so much for this information, it really helps.
Can you help me out with the other side. I know it says the Great Wall of China but I don't know what the mark reads.
Greatly appreciated

The 'mark' is just the last character in the title: 'Great Wall Picture' (Wanli Changcheng Tu - 萬里長城圖).

Best Regards,
