This small, Chinese snuff bottle is made of molded, carved, and enameled porcelain. The body of the bottle is rounded and tapered at the top and bottom. At the top it narrows into a shallow lip and at the bottom into a shallow, flat foot. There is a red and aqua color, domed stopper.. The white porcelain body is molded into a background basketweave pattern that indicates moving water. On one side, the foreground has a polychrome scene of two boats with passengers. One boat is an orange junk with two blue sales, a black roofed cabin with two passengers, and two more people in traditional Asia dress standing at the bow. There is a smaller orange boat near shore below the large boat. One worker on the small boat uses a long pole to steer it. On the other side of the bottle, there is a horseman wearing a green jacket and black hat, who is riding an orange horse and brandishing a long spear. The horseman approaches the edge of a green cliff over the white water while another horseman, wearing a yellow and blue jacket and riding a white horse, holds out his spear as he rides through the water and looks back at his pursuer. The bottle is nestled in a rectangular brown and blue cloth with red cording around the outline of the bottle. Inscribed in red on the bottom of the bottle are the words, Chia-ch'ing nien chih [made in the reign of Chia-ch'ing].
