Very nice vintage look. This reverse painted snuff bottle is at least several decades old. It has a traditional "Fairy" angelic maiden. Frosty look of glass indicates the age of these vintage bottles. A nice old survivor in excellent condition. It has Bowenite jade stopper and bone spoon. It is 2 1/2" tall.

This very nice bone snuff bottle was made before 1960. It has very nice scrimshaw etching of mountain scenes It is 3 1/4" tall. It is made from a solid, very nicely grained piece of bone. Craftamanship you no longer find, in particular in bone snuff bottles. Old ones are raising in price, even in a weak economy. A really good buy and a good piece to save in a collection.
