    Pull the stopper, if the snuff spoon is plastic they are modern. Ivory or bamboo spoons may be older, but even in hand it is hard for anyone who has not made a lifetime study of them to seperate the repros from the antiques. The best assumption should be that they are modern reproductions since they vastly outnumber antique examples.

    PS If you could edit your post to select 'full image' for the pictures it would be helpful.

    The porcelain bottle could be old, late 19th c maybe, but please post a photo of the bottom and the bottle's opening to be sure...

    The porcelain bottle is early 20th century, but not very collectible. The stone one looks recent, but is damaged. Nice stoppers on both of them, but not worth the investment. I don't know about the rest of the collection of course.

    It will be easier to take a focused photo if you put the bottle on a white piece of paper, rather than hold it in your hand. And please show the top as well.

    It looks like Cloisonee ....nicely done.
    This is not really a site for values.....but some members may offer costs as they know them to be.

    As for profit..?

    what did you pay for it..?
    where are you thinking of selling it..?
    have you had it long....or flipping something recent..?

    Help us help you !:):)

    dont need to rush,actually im just waiting for someone like you willing to answer my questions..its just that someone was here last night talking to me and suddenly disappeared..:) thank for your time im fully aware of time zone differences..uhm i got it from our shelves together with other display..there something special from the bottle i cant explain catches my attention even if it looks like a metal scrap you know..i think its part of my late father wide collections..i put it on ebay for a 10$ fix price and someone put it on watchlist thats where i ended the sell and ask for experts oppinion because in just a second someone has been very interested on the item to put it on thier watch list..i reallly appreciated your effort on this..if im going to put it on ebay again what should be the best price to be fair with buyers and me?thanks again

    wait until more folks give opinions before listing it again....

    do not bother with watch list numbers.....they only mean someone is looking at it..not that they want to buy it.

    folks come and go here for many reasons......do not be offended if a conversation stops......maybe they went to sleep !!:happy::happy:
