It was common practice to protect large jars with outer casing of a variety of woven or plaited material, and snuff bottles simulating a vessel tightly contained in a wicker basket or entirely simulating basketweave are found in a variety of materials including ivory, jade, amber, rock crystal, molded gourd and glass. This design started in the eighteenth century and continued to be used through the Qing dynasty.
