Dear Pat,

      We know that there has been glass overlay in the snuff bottle and medicine bottle repertoire since Kangxi at least.
It is just that we have gotten into the habit of slotting this type of overlay bottle into 'Shandong School - 1890-1930'
automatically, without taking into account any other option. And ALL the Early Period bottles seemed to be quartz.

     I wrote to Steven that I had a 'BIG doubt' when first he suggested it might be Early Period.
Good I didn't say, "If you are right, I'll eat my hat!"  Wink Grin Embarrassed
Boy do I feel like the last little pic on the previous line.

Best,
Joey
