拍品专文

The motif of butterflies and flowers is frequently called "The Happiness of Heaven and the Joy of the Earth" or "Butterflies at Play" and suggests a wish that the recipient of the bottle receive the highest standing in the imperial examinations. (R. Li, Chinese Snuff Bottle Themes: Popular Stories and Fables, Hong Kong, 1983, p. 14)

A bottle with a similar design from the Muse Collection is illustrated by C. Chu in Chinese Snuff Bottles from Southern Californian Collectors, Hong Kong, 2016, pg. 74.
