[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 302651, member: 2844"]Never mind about the marks, first thing to do is get the right bottle.;) That is down to experience with the age of materials, styles, etc. About 99% of the bottles you see now are either replicas, fakes, or souvenir type bottles, often with imitation marks. Modern isn't bad, there are some beautiful newly made inside painted glass bottles by renowned artists. Those are expensive, because you pay for a work of art. The question is, do you want to study Chinese snuff bottles? Because that is what you have to do to get the right ones.
