I have 78 very colorful and decorative Chinese Snuff Bottles to sell as a collection. The snuff Bottles are all hand made...OLD, although some are new.The snuff Bottles range in size from less than two inches tall to more than four inches tall. The snuff Bottles are of Nephrite Jade, Jadeite Jade, Smokey Quartz, Lapis Lazuli, Solid Aquamarine, Yellow Citrine , Turquoise, Agate, Carnelian, Maw-sit-sit and Zoisite(tanzanite),Amethyst, Rose Quartz, White Turquoise, Agate,Metal with Enamel, Peking Glass, Clear Quartz, etc. Almost too numerous to mention. .....Anyway...The entire collection must go. I have a small plastic bag stuffed with beautiful (interchangeable/extra) multi colored semi-precious stone tops and loose spoons which I have accumulated over the years...which will be included in the sale. I hate to part with all of the LOVELY pieces...Unfortunately....I must. The Snuff Bottles are a combination from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.I plan to display color photos after this weekend....probably on the 23d of June.....on E-Bay....Thank You.P.S.>>>The solid Aquamarine double snuff bottle...I believe has both a TOURMALINE and YELLOW CITRINE BIRD Stopper(top)...That's the only TOURMALINE component...snuff bottle and /or top, etc. I am aware of in this collection.(FYI) Amassed the collection over the last 20 years or so...Snuff Bottles have been stored away in a closet for the last 10 years....SO! Don't expect me to be "up-to snuff" and have instant recollection of each and every item, please! All I know is that they are MOSTLY quality snuff bottles and are very unique, pretty and valuable! You do not see these every day in the touristy Chinatown Districts of major cities...much less in the homes of your average everday"Joe"! Recollections of Hyacinth Bucket, anybody? Just about all of the Snuff Bottles are semi-precious stone(s)....FABULOUS COLLECTION BY ANYONE'S STANDARDS!!!

I SHOULD be selling this FABULOUS COLLECTION for no LESS than$3,900.00>>>>> WAS going to list at $6,000.00-$7,800.00........My loss your gain...Mirror is NOT for sale...and was only used for temporary sales display. Internationally Reknowned Auction House Verbal/Oral/Visual Auction Value Estimate $10,000.00-$20,000.00...........(Bonham's & Butterfield) (AntiquesRoadshow!)

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

Happy Bidding! THANKS!>>>>>>Mike E. Johnson
