    This bottle is made of glass, but I believe it was intended to imitate tourmaline. The glass is suffused with some bubbles and tiny bits of grit.

    There is a raised circular panel on each side decorated with chi dragons. Each one holds a lingzhi fungus in it's mouth. The sides have concave scallops.

    It measures 6cm high.
