Hi Giovanni,

Oh I see now,  Cheesy So this is a possible new collecting area after Chinese porcelain? Your knowledge and thought process does not sound like a new collector at all!

I am trying to narrow down the areas of snuff bottle (while reading all the books and catalogue I purchased) to start with, which area or type do you think is most neglected by new collectors that are as learnt as you are in Chinese porcelain or another like furniture, jade, carvings, weaponry, painting, true calligraphy etc..?

It's interesting, I agree with 1, 2, 3, and for me, I like things with meanings or uniqueness.

I am 99% sure internal painted, jade and semi precious stone, molded/carved porcelain and organics (of type wood, peel, leather, bone, ivory, shells) is out of contention. Either due to price, or because I don't fell comfortable with them, or don't understand their beauty relative to their larger cousins, or have an personal issue to help create a market for them.

Simple glass, overlay glass, underglaze porcelain, enamel glass, enamel porcelain, enamel metal, agate, chalcedony, and unique shape or deeply symbolic with different layers of any material. These are what I am considering, and trying to figure out interest versus budget versus will I really appreciate if for a long long time.

Will be back to bug you big time, after I start reading up on porcelain  Grin

Warm Regards,
David
