Title: Is this a snuff bottle??
Post by: guest605 on February 14, 2017, 09:20:06 am
Hello,
  This is an inside painted bottle Very large...almost 10 inches tall, and a little wider.
  Was this a custom made piece for a collector, or a bulk bottle such as would be in a snuff store?
  I have two different. signed

Very large !  And yes, it is a snuff bottle, but more decorative than ever actually been used to store snuff.

Looking at the paintings, my best guess is that the black outlines through out the paintings were photo enhanced to the interior, and then blotted in with colors. Much like a coloring book..

The size is really something though !  We like to call these large ones, "Mother bottles".

Yes, but not ever used as an actual snuff bottle. Probably of the very modern vintage.

Pictures too big!!
Dear George it is really a pity that there is no possibility to set a limit to the size of the pictures. That is very annoying. Considering also that this problem will be even worst as time passes. There is a stupid commercial policy of the industry to increase the pixels of the cameras, which is something completely useless, and most of the users does not have the care to consider where they are sending pictures and if it is not better to resize them. The size of the pictures will inevitably grow in time because of such stupid and useless commercial policy, requiring more and more space capacity of the servers, hard disks etc. I hate all this, because it is just useless. I have blocked some people on my email account because of this. "Look at my cat", and then you have to upload a picture bigger than the real cat. Very irritating.
Kind regards
Giovanni

I know and am sorry about this Giovanni.  There is a way to set it, but the adjustment includes any kind of attachments. So by reducing the image size, attaching something like a pdf file would be limited to a few paragraphs..

I noticed this 'alias' as an Ebay seller. 

To Monkey's wrench:  can you please introduce yourself to us, given you are seeking for information, and please resize your pictures.  They are a bit hard to view and take up valuable storage place.  Thanks.
