For a similar bottle see Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, the Mary and George Bloch Collection, Volume 7, Part 2, Hong Kong, 2009, pp. 430-31, no. 1646, where it is noted that this type of bottle belongs to a group that was probably inspired by inside-painted glass bottles from the Zhou Leyuan school. Other comparable examples from the group are noted by the authors on page 431.
