拍品专文

The double gourd is a symbol of longevity, good fortune, and the hope for ample male progeny. This wish is further amplified by the presence of bats and wan emblems on the sides, both auspicious symbols. For other jade examples of white bottles with flat russet panels see Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles: The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Hong Kong, 1995, Vol. 1, pp. 26-33, nos. 6-9.
