In the present lot, the pebble is subtly carved as a leafy aubergine, a motif associated with fecundity and career progression. The bottle also functions as a pendant and was likely adapted from one originally. Compare with a jade 'aubergine' snuff bottle, Qing dynasty, in the collection of the Museum of East Asian Art, Bath (BATEA:1762).
See a leafy fruit-shaped snuff bottle, 18th/19th century, which was sold at Bonhams New York, 17 March 2025, lot 249.
