Subject:Yard sale finds

Hello I picked up some snuff bottles from a yard sale and can't seem to find any info. One has a seal stamped on the bottom but can't translate. Please help

It's Guanxu mark. Guanxu is second to last emperor of Qing Dynasty, reined from 1871 to 1908. Though the mark is from that era, the item may not be. Can't tell just from the mark. It's likely not from palace designated kiln. That's all I can tell you.

Thank you for the information. I added a few more pictures of the bottle. I found about 6 Snuff bottles at a yard sale. I didn't want to just give them away if they are worth a few $.
They do look nice in our guest room.
