Subject:Blue moulded ceramic snuff bottle
Posted By: Sally Thu, Jul 30, 2020 IP: 90.240.205.5

Hi,
I found one similar to this in a creamy white glaze , on the web, described as early 19th century Chinese. It's quite roughly made , which makes me think it was rather at the cheap end for a snuff bottle , possibly even a form of packaging like ginger jars etc. About 2"/5 cm high , any thoughts as to date and place of manufacture would be welcome.
Thanks

hello, this is not a snuff bottle but rather a medecine flask.They come in this shape and also in cylender shape and about of the same dimention.They were made in the Jiangsu province. I have some made from Song Dynasty up to Qing.
Have a nice day.
