Featured Ivory snuff boxes

well I am almost positive they are ivory and I think they are snuff boxes. Can you tell me how old these are. The one with the gold chain is 1 3/4” across

TIA, Bryan

 

japanese ivory inro on the left....never seen one with a metal chain...so not that old...
the other is an ivory trinket box of some sort....maybe a little older than the inro.

no snuff here..

 

We think the chain is a replacement

 

that makes sense seeing as how the netsuke and ojime are missing....

In the 19th Century, Japanese people used to carry small objects, such as seals and medicines, in a small lacquered box known as an inro. The inro was attached to the waist via a cord. On this cord was a bead (an ojime) and a carved figure (a netsuke) that were used as fasteners.

 

I think the inro type box could have been Chinese made, in spite of the Japanese lady. Possibly for the Japanese market, and not very old, I would guess post-cites.
Could we get a better view of the small box?
