It is rare to find Jiaqing-marked enamel bottles. However, for an almost identical bottle of this rare type, sold in these rooms, see Christie's, New York, March 28, 1996, lot 112. In the National Palace Museum, Taipei, while there appear to be quite a large number of Qianlong and Yongzheng-marked enamel examples, and even a few with Kangxi marks, there appears to be only one bearing a Jiaqing mark. It depicts European children at play in a Chinese landscape watched by European ladies. See Snuff Bottles in the Collection of The National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1991, p. 85, pl. 17. The subject of "One Hundred Boys", however, was an extremely popular one and can be found painted or carved in numerous media
