The image of squirrels frolicking among grapevines conveys an auspicious wish for a prosperous family. Grapes, with their abundant clusters, symbolise fertility and the wish for many descendants, while squirrels embody vitality, agility, and resourcefulness. The motif gained prominence during the Ming dynasty, as seen in works such as Squirrel on a Grapevine (葡萄松鼠) by Zhou Zhimian (周之冕, 1521–?), now in the Palace Museum, Taipei. By the Qing dynasty, the motif was widespread on a variety of objects, including those commissioned by the Court.
Making deft use of the pale inclusion at the upper right of the present lot, the carver has introduced a crane, another symbol of longevity, further enriching the bottle's auspicious meaning.
