Caparisoned elephants were a popular Qing imperial motif; the elephant carrying a vase provides the homonym for "peace and prosperity." Snuff bottles carved with this motif are usually found in nephrite. Glass examples of the type are generally yellow. It is very rare to find this elephant motif in cobalt-blue-tone glass.
