Dear Peter,
thanks for your kind reply.
I am interested in snuff bottles, sometimes I buy a piece following my (personal) taste, and when I can afford it.
Since my first purchase at Galerie Zacke of June 2018, I immediately realized that it is necessary to have in-depth knowledge in such a complex subject - knowledge that I have not.
Last december I came across the best Forum dedicated to SB!
All people I met here on the Forum are exquisite I learned a lot from the good advices of you all.
Moreover it is always very useful and pleasant to go back reading the old threads, very appropriately ordered by topic.
For a neophyte, a sort of encyclopedia.
I registered at the ICSBS because I am mainly interested to read the Journals (I cannot go to the conventions etc.) - especially the issues of past years, not easy to find.
There is something wrong, I cannot open the Journals Section from my pc - but also using iPad I have tried many times but nothing.
This morning I was informed by the ICSBS Office that their Webmaster is searching to solve what's wrong. I will check next days, I think you are right perhaps my new subscription is not yet finalized.
Concerning the very modern inside painted, I thank you for your kindness but at present, I'm oriented towards older pieces - just for my personal taste!
And recognizing that today there are exceptional modern artists, I have seen beautiful examples on
