| Description | A double gourd shaped coral (a) bottle with an excellent raised carved design of Li Tieguai holding a gourd from which emmanates a vapor containing a happiness bat. The gourd vine adds the idea of abundance of happiness. Originally the top was the upper part of the gourd in coral, the jade (b) top doesn't match. |
