This is a Chinese porcelain Snuff Bottle or small Lidded Bottle, finely hand painted with flowers, leaves and butterflies , which we date to the late 18th century of the Qing Dynasty.
The bottle has a good baluster shape and a small cylindrical loosely fitting lid.
The piece has been finely hand painted in two main panels with under-glaze cobalt blue then over-glaze in green, burnt orange/red, yellow and mauve producing a five color, famille-verte effect with flowers, leaves and butterflies. There is some hand gilded detail to the bottle and its lid. The enamel painting could have been “clobbered” probably in Europe.
The base carries a square multi character seal mark hand painted in iron red.
This is a very decorative, finely hand painted piece.
