Jo,

Based on the bottle and the small trinkets it appears to be you have a good eye (...and good taste as well) and can stir away from junk.  If this is your beginnings, it is not bad at all.

Yes indeed your bottle is a "Peach River Studio" bottle from the 1970's.  I collect these and my first snuff bottle purchase back in 1979 was a Peach River bottle.  I've seen a lot of these over the years and tend to break them out in to arbitrary grades of 1) Tourist Crap, 2) Collectible Tourist Grade, 3) Mid-Grade Collector piece, 4) High Grade IPB, and 5) Very High Grade Artistic IPB,  This Peach River IPB I would say is a mid-grade bottle.
