Dear Daniel,

     A full and speedy recovery!
The bottle is totally modern. I'm sorry, but I don't see the 'fun' in it.
Rather, I see a waste of whatever sum it cost.
Somewhere on the Forum, I shared a list of basics for judging good snuff bottles.
Weird carvings that would have been hard to carry, hard to remove from a pouch,
and were not functional as vessels for carrying, using and sharing snuff, were not
on the list.
As well, if you've never seen anything like it, as a serious rule, is the kiss of death.
The Chinese did 'variations on a theme'.
Better luck next time,
Joey
