拍品专文

A similar soapstone bottle is discussed and illustrated by M. Hughes in Small Treasures: The Art Institute of Chicago, Chinese Snuff Bottles, Hong Kong, 2015, pp. 36-37, no. 23. The author points to the material having been sourced locally in Japan or possibly in China from Fujian, where soapstone was a popular material.
