Dear Tom and YT,

I am finding it hard to comprehend the apparent difference in interest (i.e. price) between the two bottles mentioned above. Is there really that much more demand for YZ glass over Qianlong moulded porcelain?

Dear Tom,

My two cents worth of comparison.
1. Moulded porcelain-Simply too many in the market. From the good ones to the really out-of-shaped all claiming to be QianLong or JiaQing. During these two emperors' period, there are simply too many really nice snuff bottles like the enamel or the Jade ones.

2. YangZhou glass- quantity much lesser with almost minimum repeats. Right from Imperial 18th white on pink Silkworm bottles to late 19th very exquisite and delicate bottles. Amazing workmanship and motifs.

Cheers,
YT
