    I'm curious if anyone knows anything about this snuff bottle or how much it's worth. On the bottom there is a marking that seems to be chinese or japanese writing, I don't know what it means. The symbol on it is a dragon, it's on both sides and appears exactly the same.

      Looks like Clambroth, Antique & Collectible: Clambroth glass, popular in the Victorian era, is a grayish color and is somewhat opaque, like clam broth. Does that fit with what you have??
      Hard to see the opaque quality--if it exists in your piece. I assume I am looking at glass. I am blind in one eye, and that affects my accuracy looking at items like yours. It is lovely!!
