The subject of the quail enjoyed popularity, particularly during the Qing period, as its name anquan is a pun on the word for 'peace' (an). A very similar white jade quail-form box and cover in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing, is illustrated in Zhongguo yuqi quanji, vol. 6, Qing, Beijing, 1991, p. 69, no. 106.
