First, a small snuff bottle engraved on both sides with an Asian theme. The engraving is of a mother and child outside beside a tree. The image is not the same on both sides.
Also, a small engraved elephant, a shawl over his back, and five "beads", or stones of some kind. Two dark blue on the shawl, on each side. A turquoise one above his tail, and a red one on his head. This one has no spoon, and I don't know if it's supposed to or not. I know the hole for the little stopper, is much smaller than on my pieces with spoons. There is a red "bead" on the stopper also.
These pieces are old, I know that much. I'm almost positive the snuff bottle is Ivory. It has all the characteristics of true Ivory, and passed the burn test.
I would love to know what these are, how old, and what they are worth.
