注意事項

Items which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma (Myanmar) may not be imported into the U.S. As a convenience to our bidders, we have marked these lots with Y. Please be advised that a purchaser¹s inability to import any such item into the U.S. or any other country shall not constitute grounds for non-payment or cancellation of the sale. With respect to items that contain any other types of gemstones originating in Burma (e.g., sapphires), such items may be imported into the U.S., provided that the gemstones have been mounted or incorporated into jewellery outside of Burma and provided that the setting is not of a temporary nature (e.g., a string).

In Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art, p. 135, T. T. Bartholomew remarks that the second character of "cabbage" (cai) is a pun for "wealth," and that the Chinese believe that eating this vegetable will help one gain prosperity.

A nearly identical bottle, formerly in the collections of Bob Stevens and Eric Young, is illustrated by R. Kleiner in Treasures from the Sanctum of Enlightened Respect: Chinese Snuff Bottles from the collection of Denis Low, Singapore, 1995, p. 111, no. 92.
