This type of jadeite was apparently known in Zhou Zhiqian's time, in the late Qing dynasty, as 'pine needles in snow'. Another bottle of this material is illustrated by H. Moss, V. Graham, K.B. Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles: The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Hong Kong, 1995, vol. 1, Jade, no. 172.

For a very similar example from the O'Dell Collection, but where the foot has been removed by the design and printing process, see B. Stevens, The Collector's Book of Snuff Bottles, New York, 1976, no. 457.
