Just came across this bottle and it's a 'first' for me. It appears to have Herons in flight, the colours look good, and yes, it looks like a donut!
Does anyone know anything about it?
Thanks!
Trese

Hi Trese !

Warm welcome to the forum !

I am not a porcelain expert.. Others here will jump in for you..

Being your first bottle, I really, really do not want to disappoint you..

I don't think there is any real value, but as others, including myself will tell you.. It's not always about the value.. It's much more about collecting what is attractive to you ! If you are excited about it, and are admiring it on your future snuff bottle collecting shelf, then that is all that matters !

So with that...... Beautiful little bottle... A nice way to start off your collecting adventure !

Welcome Trese,

This kind of bottle is my taste:), I am collecting all kind of interesting bottles.

The bottle is just modern decoration bottle , you can see there is no way to get the snuff out of the bottom of the bottle if the bottle is a donut shape.

If you like it,then enjoy it as I do, but it doesn't have much value.

Hi Trese, Welcome to the Forum. I agree with Charll. I also agree with Steven that it doesn't have much monetary value, but if it pleases you, enjoy it. Is it your first snuff bottle, or your first unusual one? I was unclear.
Best, Joey Silver
