    The makers mark on this perfume bottle has confused me. Recently I have been trying to increase my knowledge of Chinese makers marks on porcelain but I cannot figure out this mark for the life of me. Personally I believe this perfume bottle to be made fairly recently, but that is just my hunch. Any help finding the age of this bottle and deciphering the mark is appreciated.

    1960s-70s Chinese snuff bottle. The top of the stopper is serpentine.
    I suspect it has a tapering cork stopper inside, with either a plastic or a bone spoon in it. It is generally best to show the stopper out of the bottle as well.

    Yes it does have a bone spoon inside attached to the stopper. It seems like my hunch that it was made fairly recently was correct. Thanks for the help.

    It is not a collector's item, but it has dragons on it, and many people love dragons. So it has more going for it than many of its contemporaries.

    The serpentine stopper top is also much nicer than many of the dark red plastic stoppers you see on recent bottles.
