Hi,
I'm completely sure that both bottles shared above are made in dyed bamboo coral. This coral is named bamboo coral due their growing way, like a bamboo stick. Both have a different dye grade, but are the same coral specie.

if I find some pieces of different types of coral at home I will show you
Any way, Thanks for share them, I like these kind of snuff bottles.

Sincerely,
Albert.
