I thought a note was in order to make sure everyone realized how my previous comments dated Mar 11 addressed the last photo posted by Lisa on Mar 06.

The photos of the inside-painted snuff bottles show them to be in a good traditional style. The animal with a rider in the stream actually is a water buffalo, which animal's care & feeding traditionally fell to the youngest son in a farm family. All of these scenes show glimpses of typical daily family life and activities, so should make the bottles appealing at auction. The last bottle has a cyclical date of the "Summer of the Ding Si Year" (Ding si xia ri) before the Ma Shaoxuan signature. This would be 1917 in the context of Ma's career and 1977 in the case of a subsequent imitator.

Best regards,

Bill H.
