I'm a collector of many antiquities,but have had for many years a couple of snuff bottles,passed on from my grandmother,she aquired them while in the civil service. I've displayed them for years in a danish modern wall unit with other items,but really had no idea there was such a following for these things.one is blue stone with dragon heads protruding at the top and stone rings hanging on both sides,it appears to be cut from one peice of stone,which looks like a marvel in itself.the other looks much older,with a faded design painted on both sides. I'd like to get an idea of the dynasty these came from. or any other insight from collectors.I,ll post some photos.thanks for having me,Kirk

Hi Kirk,

It will be hard first time, once you figure it out, it will be easier later on.


Here is some guide for posting a pic

http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,3.0.html

also you can upload it to the server .. click the additional options on the bottom left , you can attach the photo. just like sending a email. But be sure keep the file size smaller than 400k per file.

Dear Kirk,
    Welcome to the Forum. I'm like you, not too computer-savvy... (no comments, Peter!  Cheesy)
Joey

Incidentally,  what other antiques or antiquities do you collect?
