Dear Arne,
this is another modern bottle.
Each person has his own way of collecting, so for sure somebody will tell you that it is a nice bottle.
I won’t. because in my view snuff bottles was made for use, regardless the quality. Modern bottles are made with the purpose of imitating real bottles, so for my taste they are useless and not worth to collect, at any price. Personal attitude.
BTW, although not necessary in this case, when showing a bottle with a dragon always post a picture of the face of the dragon, which is important for dating purposes.
I have no idea about the meaning of the two characters.
Kind regards
Giovanni
