Would someone please enlighten me as to its country of origin/age? Is it Korean? Chinese? Japanese?
    The snuff bottle was given to me about 5 years ago by an old friend. Is it old? Is it junk? My research has led me nowhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Yes it is. It looks like it has been used as well, there may be some brownish stuff inside. It has lost some enamel and the metal is a bit rough.
    The gilded stopper and spoon don't look original, but it is probably an early marriage, maybe by the first owner. Those things get broken or lost, and are replaced.
    It all points to genuine use, and the stopper looks to date from the early years of the 20th century.

    I would say 19th century.
    And it is a pleasure.:)
