Dear Elisha,
 
     There are definitely Kangxi mark and period bottles in enamel on copper.
Offhand, I can't remember ever having seen a Kangxi mark and period B & W porcelain SB.
      I've not commented here before, even though I collect B & Ws as a specialty (I have over 150, and have a catalogue by the late Robert Kleiner, "In Search of a Dragon"), because when I tap on the thumbnail pics, they expand so large I have to search around for the image. And the huge hand creeps me out...  Roll Eyes
Sorry.
Joey

Dear Elisha,
the motif of the hundred boys is common during Kangxi indeed, but there are two things excluding that this bottle is Kangxi.
First the stained foot, off for Kangxi.
And second the mark itself, I may be wrong but I don't think that mark and period Kangxi bottles does exist. Our fellow member Joey will be more precise about this second point, as I told you in your welcome post I am relatively new in snuff bottles field.
The bottle looks to have some age, if it is a recent fake it is well done.
Kind regards
Giovanni
