This is especially the case with both Middle Period, and Modern inside painted medium. <br /><br />I can not prove it, but have noticed a couple of mediums that have gone way up over just the last few years.. Can not prove it, but I sense there is a connection to this one and only online community dedicated to these little treasures. <br /><br />One type of bottle that I am sure has gone way up since the forum came online, are the Shantong (Swatow) Middle Period inside painted glass overlay bottles.. As an example, a bottle from this group that realizes 200.00 at auction today, I use to pay as little as 30.00 or 40.00 US dollars for. I think it could be because of the great deal of attention and discussion about them on forum.<br /><br />Of course snuff bottles, just like the other Chinese art mediums you mentioned are going up in part because Chinese collectors, and China as a whole have started to seriously try and acquire out of the desire to have nice antiques returned to China.<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping in, checking out, and commenting on my blog.. ! <br /><br /><br /> George Ingrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02112144500887663599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760764697771756535.post-19127731268978240122014-11-11T03:42:06.055-08:002014-11-11T03:42:06.055-08:00Memories....

From 1988 to 1993. I did not know anything about chinese artworks but soon had in front of me entire collections of chines paintings and chines snuffbottles. Also chinesewoodprints. Many famous collections were sold at that time, like the Jean Fribourg collection for example. There was little interest in chines artworks at that period and prizes were ridiculously low.
