While nephrite was historically more common in China, jadeite from Burma became especially prized for its greater translucency and vivid colour. Following the Qing's military expansion over parts of Burma, improved political influence and trade connections facilitated more direct access to Burmese jadeite deposits. This highly-valued material thus became increasingly available to the Qing Court, where luxury works such as snuff bottles were produced.
