Thanks for all opinions much appreciated guys.

Dear Joey,

Thanks for your honesty! I agree the painting on all the old examples I have seen is much finer and stylistically different. It won't spoil my feast Smiley I'm planning on buying a proper Christmas snuff bottle, but having trouble finding the right one! On a positive note I purchased this one for pennies.

Dear George, yes I don't mind the painting either. Of course when compared to the finer older examples it isn't as pleasing. I was confused on the dating on this one largely because of the seam/join. Would be nice if it did have a little age. Overall, think I overthought this one!

Pat - agreed it probably is.
