Snuff Bottle with Dragon in Pursuit of Pearl
This snuff bottle has a cylindrical shape with a flared neck and a quartz stopper. The underglaze red design wraps around the entire vessel and depicts a dragon in pursuit of a pearl. The underglaze red design is splotched with green, which is a result of its firing conditions. There are red concentric circles incised onto the base of the snuff bottle.
