It is rare to find the depiction of rice production. For an identical bottle see Chinese Snuff Bottles, Hong Kong Museum of Art, 1977, Catalogue, p. 58, no. 111. For two other examples see Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, February 20, 1975, lot 46, and Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, October 11, 1979, lot 72. For another bottle of similar type depicting rural scenes, and presumably from the same workshop, see Sotheby's, Hong Kong, 28 October 1992, lot 472
