For another black and white jade bottle of similar type, also signed Sun Bing, see Hugh Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, the Mary and George Bloch Collection, vol. 1, Jade, Hong Kong, 1995, pp. 318-319, no. 126. This example, however, has a much brighter and clearer white relief giving a more impressive cameo quality. The reverse side of the present bottle is also carved with more attention to detail depicting, as it does, a stream and waterfall, clearly carved from gray inclusions in the stone
The signature Sun Bing on the present example followed by the seal Ren or Yu Ren indicates that both this bottle and the Bloch example are from the same hand, and as Moss suggests, ibid., p. 318, this whole group of Suzhou bottles may be not only stylistically homogenous in their use of inscriptions but might perhaps all be by the same hand
