Despite their functional efficiency, simplicity and symbolism of fertility and the all-important continuation of the family line in the Confucian belief system, snuff bottles in the shape of eggs, without any compression of the form, are extremely unusual. While a small series of mid-Qing ovoid glass examples are known, this porcelain version is very rare.
