Hi, I'm Cathy Shapiro. Thanks for admitting me to the forum.

I have been collecting stone and wood Asian carvings for many years now, but my focus is now shifting to snuff bottles. I have begun a small collection - mainly reverse painted bottles. I am fascinated by the artists ability to create something so small, yet so beautiful.

I have no idea if my bottles are quality ones or not, and so am now reading as much as I can on the subject to get a better understanding. I'm hoping that I can also glean information from the experienced collectors on this site.

I have posted my collection on Collectors Weekly at:

Thanks again!

Dear Cathy,

A warm welcome. It looks like you are into modern inside painted snuff bottles which I am not familiar with. Do look up the many topics on this area.

Cheers,

Hi Cathy! A warm welcome from Hong Kong! Modern inside painted snuff bottles incorporate a rich variety of subjects and many of the modern inside painting artists have very high skills. I think they have very promising potential.  Smiley

Dear Cathy,

     A warm welcome from me as well. I live in Jerusalem, Israel, but summer in County Wexford, Ireland, where I am right now (though I'm on my way home tomorrow, for a family wedding on Thurs.; then, after Shabbat, back to Ireland for a couple of months).

    Best,
Joey
