This is a very small painted porcelain snuff bottle with a string necklace attached so the bottle can be worn as a pendant. The painting is delicately done, yellow gourds growing on the vine and a dragonfly fluttering by. The gourd is a popular art motif because of its association with magical properties. The most popular story is the double gourd carried by one of the Eight Immortals Zhang Guolao. When he needed his mount to go to his destination, he would open his gourd and shake his donkey out
The opening of the bottle is large and is matched with a porcelain stopper painted in gold. There is a four character mark at the base.
