[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 338888, member: 2844"]Oh dear. Hate to burst your bubble, but..... Lovely though it is, it has many siblings, probably thousands. I have several Chinese metal mounted porcelain snuff bottles, related to this bottle. The blue is not underglaze blue, the glaze itself is blue. Underglaze blue painted porcelain is still being made, by the way. The mount is base metal, with cast dragons, phoenix and frogs. It is mass produced, and they are still being made. Truly antique and valuable snuff bottles are very different.[/QUOTE]
