Valued for its rich colour and translucency, amber is formed from fossilised tree resin and was mainly sourced from Burma and the Baltic region through trade, although deposits also existed within China. Both associated with the tiger and pine trees, it was believed to embody courage and longevity. The flattened shape of the present bottle, carved with archaistic mask handles on the shoulders, gained popularity from the mid-Qing period onward. For a discussion about whether these handles may be attributed to the Imperial workshops, see H.Moss, V.Graham, and K.B.Tsang, , vol.1, Hong Kong, 1995, p.103.
Compare with an amber snuff bottle with ring handles, 1780-1850, in the collection of the British Museum, London (1945,1017.325).
A similar carved amber snuff bottle, 1750-1850, was sold at Bonhams New York, 19 September 2022, lot 112.
