Comment on Value of Chinese Snuff bottles? by Isabelle

They are very common. It depends on how old they are, whether they are glass or plastic etc. Cristal or normal glass.
They are very pretty. If you were given 4 as a gift, I do not think they have that much value. And no they have not been used. They are for decoration only.
I have a few myself. The most expensive one is an old one, about 300 year old, and not as “bright” and has a top made out of ivory.
Most now are just made for tourists.
You would have to seek an expert. A bit like jewellery makers.

Please do some research so that you have some idea of what you have. If it is a large collection or has been held by someone for a long while (a relative) and you have inherited it say, spend the money and have it properly valued. The answer before recommended looking at auction sites to see the prevailing prices are, that’s good too.

several ways.
1. take them to a reputable antique dealer and see what he will give you for them
2. research their value on eBay or a like site and then list them as a collection or individually on eBay
3. tell all your friends and see if any of them know another collector who may be interested.
