Condition
The snuff bottles are in generally good condition with no major chips, cracks, or dents. All items have wear throughout. The sleeping horse snuffle bottle, captured in the center in the lot listing, has an adhesive residue on the underside; there is a 1/2 inch long crack that is discolored dark along the back of the horse. The amber snuff bottle, captured left, misses the stick; it shows wear throughout the piece, particularly along the top. The fish snuff bottle, captured right, shows a restoration attempt with tape to its stick; there is glue residue along the lid. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition. Email condition@revereauctions.com with any condition questions.
