This rare object was probably intended as a trinket box rather than a sauce tureen because of the fixed. A charming and amusing decorative object, the tree shrew relates to such rarities as the crab-form tureens or the boxes and covers in eggplant form.
A single is illustrated in E. Gordon, Collecting Chinese Export Porcelain, The Main Street Press, Pittstown, 1974, p. 98, no. 85, a mirror to this one and possible once part of a unique pair.
