    it's nice...
    the writing likely tells of the battle going on below...
    the missing top will lower the value , unless someone can verify the glass to be old..... and then still......

    I guess to big to be a snuff bottle but sure screams Peking glass to me. I really like it!

    It is a decorative bottle, carved and inside painted Peking glass, no great age.
    Missing a lid, which would have been a stepped model with a small finial, clear glass. But pretty as it is.
    It would never have had great value, Chinese have been exporting these in great numbers.
    The scenes are probably from history or myth, Couch can probably tell us more about that.
    Perfume would dissolve the painting.:(
