For a group of bottles all similarly marked; of near identical shape and mostly carved with floral designs, the exceptions being dragons, see Snuff Bottles In The Collection of The National Palace Museum, Catalogue, Taipei, 1991, pp. 216-219, nos. 280, 281, 283, 288 and 291. For a near identical bottle carved in greey overlay on an apoque white grould, also in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, see Ibid, p. 225, no. 308.

For a bottle of similar design in red overlay on white also incised with a Qianlong four-character mark, see Robert Hall, Chinese Snuff Bottles II, Catalogue, London, 1989, p. 81, no. 62, where the author notes "the brocade ribbon enclosing an otherwise normally decorated object was a popular eighteenth century decorative idea, particularly with Palace wares, whether made in or for the Palace. It was probably intended to symbolize a gift, where the elaborate beribboned wrapping became part of the work of art being presented."

For a bottle of flattened rounded shape using the same colours in reverse and carved in a similar rather peremptory technique with flowers, and located in the Palace Museum, see Wan Yi, Wang Shuqing and Lu Yanzhou, Daily Life in the Forbidden City, Hong Kong, 1988, p. 134, fig. 187. The two bottles certainly appear stylistically to come from the same workshop
