A molded porcelain snuff bottle, approx. 3"H, with a shaped exterior in a deep relief with scenes of many people and water waves over most of the surface decorated in polychrome glazes. The small foot and the neck of the bottle is glazed aqua and the top rim in gilt. The lid is a disc of mother of pearl with a beautifully carved half-round of coral on top. There is the remnant of the cork on the underside, but the spoon is missing.
