I was given a set of 4 chinese snuff bottles as a gift. They were brought from china from a women who lived there. they are all hand painted from the inside and it is from a popular chinese scroll painting called The River Scene. It comes with a golden thread case to hold them all. I don't think any of them have been used they don't have a smell to them, im just curious if this is a common buyers set for snuff bottles or are these worth something? Thank you for the input. I don't plan on selling them anyways but im just curious.
They are very common. It depends on how old they are, whether they are glass or plastic etc. Cristal or normal glass.
They are very pretty. If you were given 4 as a gift, I do not think they have that much value. And no they have not been used. They are for decoration only.
I have a few myself. The most expensive one is an old one, about 300 year old, and not as "bright" and has a top made out of ivory.
Most now are just made for tourists.
You would have to seek an expert. A bit like jewellery makers.
