A molded and gilt decorated porcelain snuff bottle simulating gilt bronze

Qianlong mark, late 18th/early 19th century
The oval bottle rising to a waisted neck beneath a gilded flat lip, the sides vividly molded in high relief with the Eighteen Luohan in various postures, the formalized cloud scrolls creating a celestial atmosphere; the richly gilt highlight against a black ground, in imitation of gilt bronze; a four-character Qianlong mark painted in gold to the recessed flat foot and surrounded by a neat oval foot ring.
2 3/4in (7cm) high

Footnotes

Compare a gilt-decorated porcelain bottle molded with nine lion-dogs and 'brocade' balls, published and illustrated in The Collector's book of Snuff Bottles, 1976, Bob C. Stevens, p. 93, plate 276.
