龙争虎斗 is a popular saying,  "dragon and tiger fighting",  we have friends two daughters one is a dragon one a tiger who are always competing since they were kids, so you could give such a bottle to such a couple, or a husband and wife, with both having very strong characters.  Not negative and could be used in many ways and meanings.

Steve, 

Thanks for the additional insight on the 'Dragon and Tiger' themed bottle.  I'm currently at the San Francisco airport waiting to board a flight to attend the International Chinese Snuff Bottle Society Convention in Chicago for the week.
