It is rare to find this particular colour combination in glass overlay. For an example carved with a cricket and praying mantis, see Sotheby's New York, Fine Chinese Snuff Bottles, June 27, 1986, lot 25, front cover illustration

For a slightly different example with the colours reversed see Hugh Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, The Art of the Chinese Snuff Bottle, The J & J Collection, Hong Kong 1993, p. 623, pl. 376
