[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8746773, member: 2844"]Hi Ce. It is an Indian herb or pigment bottle, although some would use it for perfume. It is not a snuff bottle. Similar ones with a straight applicator are for kohl. These were hugely popular with Hippies in the 1960s, which is how many ended up in the West. But they are still being made, mostly as souvenirs and for export. Yours looks like a relatively recent one, probably more recent than the 70s. The stones are agate. I agree, not high quality, more of a trinket.[/QUOTE]
