Grapes, with their dense, clustered fruit, symbolise fertility and the hope for numerous descendants. Squirrels, lively and energetic creatures, represent vitality, agility, and resourcefulness. Together, the two form a visual blessing for a prosperous and healthy family. The motif rose to prominence during the Ming dynasty, as illustrated by works such as the painting 'Squirrel on a Grapevine' (葡萄松鼠) by Zhou Zhimian (周之冕 1521–?), in the Palace Museum, Taipei. During the Qing dynasty, its layered auspicious meanings made it a widely popular decorative motif, including for objects commissioned by the Imperial Court.
In the present lot, the tourmaline needles in the crystal have cleverly been incorporated as a grassy backdrop to the primary motif. Compare with another hair crystal 'squirrels and grapes' snuff bottle, 18th/19th century, illustrated by H.Moss, , London, 1971, p.27, no.56. For another bottle which uses the coloured inclusions in the carvings and the needles for the setting, 18th/19th century, see ., p.28, no.57.
