Hi Everyone!

Just acquired a snuff bottle very similar to the ones at the links below and cannot find out what the (two character?) mark on the side of the bottle says.  My snuff bottle has the same mark.  Anyone recognize the mark or the carving work?

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the forum and glad to see your first post!

I can' tell the mark on the bottle well based on the photo I can see( the small circle mark could be " precious", but can't figure out the square one, could be a artist seal or studio seal.), but the second base mark is Qianlong Nian zhi mark, which means made in Qianlong period. But it doesn't mean they were really made in Qianlong period, those two look like beautiful modern copies to me.

But again, those two are modern does mean you have the same modern bottle even they bared the same mark. if you don't mind you can post your bottle.
