Dear Steven,
   
        I did not know about Thai snuff bottles till the late John Ault gave a lecture about them in the 1990s (I don't remember at which convention, but it was somewhere between 1990 and 1996), and I did not really believe him at first. I doubt many did.
     
        Then in 1999, I stayed with John and Penny Ault in Bangkok, and John showed me his collection. And I was 'converted' to believing in Thai snuff bottles. And then I found a superb metal example for my friends Jeremy and Amanda Levine.

       Best,
Joey
