Dear Kevin,

      Thank you for that information. I have a few vinaigrettes, and you are right - there is a much larger opening to put the sponge in, and then the fretwork cover over that, and a solid cover over the fretwork cover.
      But this still does not work for me as a snuff bottle. I am getting closer to what I understood as George's suggestion - that it was made as a lady's perfume bottle. And then 'tarted up' to become a snuff bottle if that would sell better.
      But I must admit, it's value on the Forum has been to force us to think!  Grin And that is a good thing.
Best,
Joey
