I had this snuff bottle for a long time, and I don´t even remember where I got it, maybe at a fleemarket.. I love it, and it is very pretty. I beleve it is made in closonné, it is metal and very well made. I have no trouble with keeping it, but if I got a lot of money for it, I would sell. What do you belive? Treasure ore not? /susanne
