Subject:Snuff bottles?
Posted By: Arthur Fri, Jan 14, 2022 IP: 203.91.233.121
Can anyone tell me about these small bottles, I think they are Chinese snuff bottles? and do they have any $ value?

These are indeed Chinese, probably circa 1920s or later in the Republic Period. The four-character mark is "Made during the Yongzheng reign" (Yong zheng nian zhi), and the longer mark of "Made during the Yongzheng reign of the Great Qing dynasty" (Da qing Qian long nian zhi). Both marks in standard characters. The decoration looks fairly good.

Best regards,

Bill H.
