Is there a tick on the inside of the bottle lid? It's a snuff bottle. I think that is a Chinese chop on the bottom. Used to print the name of a person in red on documents.
Yes there is one on the lid. It is heavy. Was wondering if maybe ivory.
Welcome to CW :-)
Your snuff bottle has some age, vintage, but resin, see my post there, many links to explore :

The marks are seal marks ... pic one need to go to the left 90 degrees and pic two 90 degrees to the right.
Thank you. Myra yes it looks just like the ones you showed that are resin. Would like to know what deal says if anyone knows
