In Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, p. 135, T. T. Bartholomew remarks that the second character of "cabbage" (cai) is a pun for "wealth," and that the Chinese believe that eating this vegetable will help one gain prosperity.

A nearly identical bottle, formerly in the collections of Bob Stevens and Eric Young, is illustrated by R. Kleiner in Treasures from the Sanctum of Enlightened Respect: Chinese Snuff Bottles from the collection of Denis Low, Singapore, 1995, p. 111, no. 92.
