Dear Marilyn,

   One eentsy teentsy thing you can learn from us (hopefully), is to learn the difference between a comma and an apostrophe.  Wink   Grin   Roll Eyes
 
    What is your snuff bottle like? What is it made of?

Best to you,
Shabbat Shalom,
Joey

Hi  Marilyn

Wel,come  !

I,m  from   Hong Kong    although  I,m  English  by  birth (my wife is  Chinese)

I  am  considered  on the   Forum  as  the  "Keeper  of  Good  Humour"   which  means    that  I have  learned  to  laugh  at myself   and  all my  silly  mistakes in  life  - as  well as   typing   with  2,   fing,ers

Seriously  :  the     snuff  bottle   collecting  world  is  full  of  fun and  funny  people (like  me  and  Joey)

Please   read  my  long  message   about  my   last weekend's  epic  in  BJ   for a    starter

Hi   again  Marilyn

Please don't   take my past rubbish   (and  maybe  off   target  jokes )   in the  wrong  way  !     Roll Eyes 

We  really  welcome  you  to the   Forum   and  to  show   sincerity  here's  my  first- ever  bottle    which I  purchased  at   a  gift  shop    at  the    foot  of the  Great  Wall  of   China    over 10 years   ago

A silly   thing  indeed,  but   since  then  I  must have  invested  close to  US$100  -  200   thousands     on  inside  painted  bottles  and    the   resale  value  must now  be  US$ 1   million  or  more.    There  are  in  fact   low  quality   bottles  on  display  at  China  Arts  and  Crafts  in HK   by  artists  whose   very   best   works  I have  collected  and  they    are    marked  at  over  US$100 K  each.   

The  key  is to  buy  for  love.   That  will  not  always  be a   good    guideline  if  investment  is  your   goal.  But  it  sure  will  ensure that  your  little  collection   always  gives  you   real  JOY   - as  does  my  collection !   

Cheers

Peter
