Expert’s note: Once American ships began trading at Guangzhou in the mid-Qing period, a range of porcelain wares was decorated with subjects suited to their market. In China for the West: Chinese Porcelain & Other Decorative Arts for Export Illustrated from the Mottahedeh Collection, London and New York, Sotheby Parke Bernet, 1978, pp. 499-513, David Howard and John Ayers make a convincing case for this particular design having been made to commemorate the 1876 centenary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in the United States, suggesting a fairly specific date of production. If ordered for export, they would have been made long enough before the centenary to allow for shipping time and then discontinued; if the initiative came from the Chinese side, production could have begun later and ended less abruptly.

This bottle was probably enameled at Guangzhou; it is decorated in a distinctive palette similar to other wares thought to have been decorated there. The coloring is typical of a late-Qianlong group of export wares made that favored the predominance of an unlikely combination of brown, iron-red and pink. The Chinese enamellers obviously had some trouble understanding the design they were given.

The commemorative series snuff bottles are extremely rare while their larger vessel form counterparts are well known. Their rarity is partly obscured by a group of modern fakes made with a similar design in the 1970s.
