[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 103789, member: 118"]I've never heard of lava glaze used by the Chinese. They used amygdaloidal basalt for carvings but they were nicely polished. Again, old Chinese pieces, whatever they were made of, were most of the time very well made. If something misfired so badly it would be rejected. So, maybe it is not Chinese ... or something from the pre-Qing dynasties.... Anyway, try to post on the snuff bottles forum. It won't hurt. I am sure you'll get better answers there.[/QUOTE]
