[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 397786, member: 2844"]It is just like anything else in arts and antiques, a lot of research, be prepared to make a mistake every now and then, and make sure you don't pay to much, mistake or otherwise. My collection consists mostly of carved gemstone bottles, which have value as a carved gemstone anyway. Most snuff bottles I've seen on antiquers over the years are recent. People just buy them because they are pretty, and that's fine. Recent is not necessarily bad, it is still a recognized art form(s), and some contemporary bottles are highly collectible. New or old, buy quality.[/QUOTE]
