[QUOTE="blooey, post: 2802505, member: 12007"]The image would be engraved then the maker would rub black pigment into the design. It could be ivory too. The eBay sellers don't sell these for $2, there's a wide range of bait out there in the "Tibetan Silver" snuff bottle universe, you can get some for ~$30 all the way up to close to $1000 ...there's a "rare" "19thc" one with coral, turquoise and a carved "yak bone" ivory panel being offered by a US seller right now, and he/she is asking about $800. Personally I would avoid all of them or any "Tibetan Silver" :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
