Description I've inherited three snuff bottles. They are glass. I don't know their age and there are no markings to indicate their maker. They seem to run from $50-$5000 each. Neither would surprise me. Two of them are clear etched glass with covered glass overlay. The third is green glass in the shape of a fish. I understand symbolism plays a role in value; both the overly pieces have unique characters I can't identify. The blue might have a combination fish/sea creature/bird situation. The brown looks like a lion body with a mushroom/monkey top and overall mermaid vibes.
