I couldn’t find many examples of bottles like these when I did my research. These were often made during the Qing dynasty between 1644 and 1912, however, these were also listed as mid-century, vintage items, but there weren’t very many listed either way.

Origin: China
Age: 70 to 100 years or more
Measurements of tall bottle: 3.5” x 2” x 1”
Measurements of short bottle: 3“ x 2.5“ x 1.25“
Estimated value by auction house: $300
Condition: Excellent condition with no obvious imperfections. The Lids and attached spoons are intact but show some wear.

My guarantee is that I will be honest about my items and fair with my pricing. I will share all of the information that I can find out about a piece and if I’m not certain, that is, if I didn’t get the information from somebody or a source who is considered to be an expert, I won’t list it as a fact. For example, I might call something vintage or a possible antique versus listing it as an antique or from a specific era.

In addition to listing in the information that came from the previous owner, there are three steps involved in research and pricing for me.

1. I use an app called Google lens to take a photo of any item. This will bring up similar items, how they are described, how old they are, and how much they cost, if this information is available.

2. I do a Google search for the name of the item.

3. I do a search for the item by name on this site to learn about other similar items.

Since I am being honest and fair with my pricing, I want you to know about the steps. It will only help by validating my pricing choices.

Feel free to ask me any questions or to make an offer.

Thank you,
