[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 257833, member: 2844"]Maybe a potpourri holder? It is a gorgeous set. The bottle is likely to be a screw top scent (perfume) bottle. Most elegant snuff bottles are Chinese. Western snuff bottles are seldom elegant, and people in the West mostly used snuff boxes. The metal mount can be on both, which is confusing. I don't know if the vendor has more pictures so you can see more details, but here is the difference between a snuff bottle (left) and a screw top scent bottle (right): [ATTACH=full]80254[/ATTACH] The snuff bottle has a spoon or scoop fixed to the stopper, the metal mounted screw top scent bottle has a dipstick, usually made of glass. (Chinese silver gilt, tiger eye, carnelian, turquoise snuff bottle - Czechoslovakian molded glass scent bottle.)[/QUOTE]
