Are all glass? Why you think 'antique' (100 year old)?

Your photos not close up enough to tell much. Should fill photo frame with bottle, not wall and floor.

Chinese glass factories making very good products these days. When older glass snuff bottles have overlay, should be colored glass. Glass should be very smooth and well-finished.

Is possible the landscape-painted ones have some merit, may be worth having appraised by experienced trustworthy dealer or auction house.

Good luck,
Cal
