The exception would be the Ma Shaoxuan bottles - IMO they went for a bargain.

Cathy, one has to be careful here with these Ma Shaoxuan's, particularly assessing them over the internet.  Though the auction house infers a good provenance, it simply states "signed Ma Shaoxuan" or the characters are  translated as Ma Shaoxuan.   It does not state they are Ma Shaoxuan bottles or by Ma Shaoxuan. 

It is a fact there are a number of Ma Shaoxuan copies out there in the snuff bottle world, and I suspected these were copies upon my viewing of the catalog and auction photo's.  That would explain the low prices, and possible a non-payment or return of the bottles from the previous auction due to over representation of what they were.  Just a hunch!
