The five-clawed dragon on this bottle suggests an Imperial production. Another bottle, with similar overlay but of slightly more rounded baluster shape and with a four-clawed dragon, is illustrated by M. Hughes in The Blair Bequest, Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Princeton University Art Museum, Baltimore, 2002, p. 128, no. 149.
