[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9887491, member: 2844"]Welcome, fellow snuff bottle collector.:) Could we see a close up of the spoon please? Is there an opening between the two parts of the bottle proper, with the top part being hollow all the way? I have never seen this specific combination of materials before either. I agree with komo that the top part looks like buffalo horn. Which, along with the palm tree decor, would place it in southern China or a bordering country. Vietnam is also known for making snuff bottles, and I wonder if Thailand could be a contender. The Thai copy Chinese styles. The marks could have been copied from Chinese pieces, and the combination of the artemisia leaf mark with script is unusual.[/QUOTE]
