For a similar example, see Raymond Li, A Glossary of Chinese Snuff Bottle Rebus, Hong Kong, 1976, p. 10, fig. 5, where the author notes that this is a rebus for the "happiness of the whole Royal Family."

A less rounded example is illustrated by Robert Hall, Chinese Snuff Bottles IV, London, 1991, p. 100, no. 99.
