Subject:Mark ID on Yixing snuff bottle
Posted By: Shea Fri, Mar 15, 2019 IP: 50.203.72.74

Hello all,
I haven't had any good questions in a while, so I'll make up for it today. I bought this Yixing snuff bottle at auction (had no idea it was Yixing when I bought, just felt like it was a good buy).Now that I know what type of bottle it is, I am trying to find info about the seal that is on the base. At first, most of the seal was hidden under the grime. But cleaned it up enough that I think it is clear enough to make out the characters (if you know what you are looking at; I don't really, lol). Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mark reads,
乾隆 - Qianlong
An apocryphal mark.

With regards,

Thank you for the confirmation. Do you have an opinion on age?
