Cylindrical blue and white bottles painted with dragons are known to have been made during the nineteenth century. The group is discussed in Hugh Moss, ‘The Wrong End of the Dragon’, Journal of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society, Winter 2008, pp. 16-22, where it is suggested that these bottles were inspired by columns decorated with wrapped carpets embroidered with dragons. This example is the thinnest known for its height and is one of the rarest variants of the group known. See another example from the Bloch collection, sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 28th May 2010, lot 134.
