Ducks, believed to mate for life, symbolise love and the wish for a happy marriage. In the present lot, the carver has rendered the bird with masterful economy, using minimal carving to evoke a lively form, while the contrast between the opaque, creamy skin and the stone heightens it striking visual appeal.
Compare with a related agate snuff bottle with birds carved from the white skin, 1800-1850, illustrated in , Florence, 2007, pp.268-269, no.H113. See also a related agate snuff bottle featuring white ducks, 18th/19th century and attributed to the 'Official School', illustrated by H.Moss, V.Graham and K.B.Tsang, , vol.2.2, Hong Kong, 1998, no.298, and which was later sold at Sotheby's Hong Kong, 25 November 2013, lot 125.
