Dear Marcos,

      It is DEFINITELY NOT Yongzheng. It IS a very well painted mid-late 19th C. (or possibly later) example of an iron red overglaze enamelled porcelain snuff bottle. Because iron red is painted over the enamel, and is a relatively thin wash, it is easier to do delicate painting.  Nice example.

Best,
Joey
