Hi Matthias,

These are exactly the types of bottle I had in mind when I commented on Steven's example.

Dear Joey,

From what I understand, cloisonne' production was already in full swing at the Palace workshops before the snuff bottle era began. It only stopped when the workshop was closed down in 1789. Production was later resumed by private workshops, sometime after 1820, hence my suggested date range.

I agree that they possibly lacked the skills to produce intricate designs on so small an object as a snuff bottle, but these older bottles have comparatively simple designs and motifs. 

Best,
Tom
