This bottle is related to a group of bottles attributed to Li Junting, perhaps the most famous glass carver of the Yangzhou School. For a number of examples see Robert Kleiner, Chinese Snuff Bottles in the Collection of Mary and George Bloch, London, 1995, pp. 256-271, nos. 171-179, perhaps the most comparable being no. 175
