[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4007933, member: 2844"]Welcome Lilly Ann. It is a beautiful bottle. It is not very old, and was probably new when your Grandmother bought it. The spoon is typical of more recent bottles. Many bottles were made as gifts, put on display, and never used. Just a question, are the 'shoulders' hollowed out on the inside? Snuff bottles don't have to be antique to be appreciated, I have a few newer ones in my collection too. And I love carved (precious) stone bottles like your Grandmother's. She had excellent taste.[/QUOTE]
