Dear Tom,

      I know. And I believe you as a source. It's just that after 'knowing' the type were 'Mongolian' since 1970, it's hard to get my head around the fact that this 'fact' was false. Don't worry. It will percolate through.  Shocked Grin

    Best,
Joey



It's still hard for me to change my ingrained 'knowledge' that this type is 'Mongolian', even though I trust Tom's info that it is actually Tibetan in manufacture.


Dear Joey,

That snippet of information came from Mongolians I met when visiting Ulaanbaatar a few years ago. In response to my asking why, amongst all the snuff bottles I saw, there were no bottles of the type Rube just posted, the unequivocal response was "because they come from Tibet, not Mongolia!"

Best,
Tom
