Can anyone tell me is this is real? History? Worth? Anything would be helpful. This bottle was passed down in my family and I pulled it out the other day and thought maybe someone could give me a little feedback on it.
Thanks,
JoJo

Kyra wrote about snuff bottles that are resin, but sold as the real thing. I've been looking for it for a while. It would definitely help you. I'll try and get back here soon.

I must just say I don't think the spoon is original, also looks like a plastic stopper. The writing(?) on the bottom is a bit strange too.
Welcome to CW :-D
Here is one in the spirit of yours:

Writing on the bottom may be reverse, as for a seal, but anyway always not of the period it would mean... resin isn't antique material :-)
Vintage to modern, only decorator value...
Thanks for your feedback. I have seen the 1 posted in the "example" listed however the writing on the bottom is what got me.
writing is qianlong, but it aint qianlong it is not old
