Dear YT,

    Is it really a snuffbottle-shaped 'carrying case' for a personal snuff dish?
Joey
Dear all,

Secret is revealed and as usual Joey guessed it.

The other side shows a couplet written in cursive-draft script signing off with Sun Xike during the first decade of the chrysanthemum month of the Jiawu year of the Daoguang era.

I cannot post any photos since yesterday as our server could have overloaded!! So please use your imagination on how the snuff bottle is not a bottle but a container with hinges on the foot.  Huh Tongue


Guys, please refrain from posting photos above 300Kb and 800 pixels!! Especially those new to our precious forum, thanks to George.

Cheers,
YT
