    A bronze Chinese snuff bottle with a prosperity theme. Can anyone tell me what it says on the seals?
    The square one is probably one of those non-period Qianlong seals, but my eyes are not doing what they're supposed to do.
    Thanks for looking.

    Just given the appearance of the bottle, I would guess they are invocations of luck and prosperity.

    Thanks. Yes, just about every symbol on the bottle refers to prosperity. The colour probably too.
