Took a shot the dark with this jar. I thought it might be a Chinese Snuff jar what do you guys think? Its hard to see in the picture but there is some Chinese writing embossed across the front.
Pic 2 looks like an inside screw thread or I have a wild imagination. []
Anyway, it looks more like a TOC (not this one, the last one) maybe lip balm or something but not snuff. I think you may need a translation.
