This bottle appears to be a unique porcelain version of a type initially made in glass with Guyue Xuan marks, and later made in porcelain with similar marks. Upon comparison, the present bottle is likely based on the later porcelain examples as opposed to a glass original; however it does not bear a mark and does not have a flat base on which a mark would have been written. The configuration of the Buddhist emblems is the same as the porcelain versions, although the wide yellow-enameled border on this piece does not appear on any of the marked bottles.
For porcelain examples with Guyue Xuan marks see Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 6, Part 2, Arts of the Fire, Hong Kong, 2008, pp. 360-1; Sotheby's New York, 28 November 1991, lot 68; R.R. Holden, Rivers and Moutains Far From the World, The Rachelle R. Holden Collection, New York, 1994, p. 27, no. 149. A glass example from the Blanche B. Extstein Collection, with remnants of a Guyue Xuan mark, but with a different configuration of the emblems and a different border at the neck, was sold in these rooms, 21 March 2002, lot 53.
