Giovanni,
   If I received over US$20,000 for each of my genuine Imperial Palace Workshops (but unmarked) Qianlong Cinnabar Lacquer snuff bottles, sold  by Clare Chu (then Clare Lawrence), on my behalf, between 1991 and 1994;
 
   Why would you seriously believe a supposedly genuine Qianlong mark and period (at least from 1780-1799, when he died), supposedly also Imp. Palace Workshops example, would sell for under US$1,000 in 2005 ?!

   Dear Giovanni,  please don't let your desire blind your reason.

Best, Shabbat Shalom,

Joey
