Posted By: Mark Adams Sat, Dec 21, 2019 I believe your snuff bottle is cloisonne and an example dating to late Qing period early republic period (1900-1920?). |

Posted By: Bill H Mon, Dec 23, 2019 The snuff bottle may date s few years into the early 1900s, but the silvery metal cladding probably is no older than mid-20th century. A variety of these "vintage" clad wares of various forms, often dirtied artificially to look antique, as seen here, pop up fairly frequently in the forum. Please see the embedded link with image and another entered at the end of my post for copying into your browser. The B&W teapot in the linked embedded image took a lot of soaking and more scrubbing with a toothbrush for me to get past the artificial grime. Most of these clad items seem to use fairly recent transfer-decorated Chinese porcelain, though cloisonné wares like your snuff bottle aren't suitable for transfer decoration as far as I know. |
