For another yellow glass bottle of similar type attributed to the Beijing
Palace workshops during the Qianlong period and carved with a wide
band of archaistic dragons set between a diaper ground, see Hugh
Moss, Victor Graham and Ka Bo Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff
Bottles, The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 5, Part 2, Hong
Kong, 2002, p. 344-346, no.828 and also illustrated by Robert W.L.

See also Moss et. al., ibid., pp. 351-352, no. 831 for another Imperial

the shoulder of our bottle and has identical lappets at the foot and neck.
