An inscription written on top of the box states that the water dropper was made by Jiang Qianli of the Ming dynasty, and that it is 'a secret curio treasured by Chunzhai.' An inscription written on a paper label on the side of the box reads: 'water dropper inlaid with gold and mother-of-pearl from the Kangxi period.'
The first inscription refers to the artisan Jiang Qianli, who specialized in inlaid lacquer and is thought to have worked during either the late Ming dynasty or Kangxi period. However, works in his distinctive style bearing his name continued to be made throughout the Qing dynasty.
