This is one of a series of basketweave bottles discussed in lot 97, which also relates to a group of plain, rounded-rectangular bottles made for the Court, many in pure white jade, during the mid-Qing period. For another similar example, see H. Moss, V. Graham, K.B. Tsang, The Art of the Chinese Snuff Bottle: The J & J Collection, New York, 1993, no. 50.

For a white jade basketweave bottle still in the Imperial Collection, see Masterpieces of Snuff Bottles in the Palace Museum, Beijing, 1995, p. 133, no. 123. See, also, the very similar bottle, bearing the hallmark of the fifth Prince Ding, Zaiqian, illustrated by R. Kleiner, Treasures from the Sanctum of Enlightened Respect: Chinese Snuff Bottles from the collection of Denis Low, Singapore, 1995, no. 37.
