In the present lot, the carver exploits the stone's variegated inclusions to create a richly layered auspicious composition. On one side, a phoenix, emblem of strength and Imperial authority, perches amid flowering prunus, their pairing evoking honour, prosperity and integrity, while fungus below conveys longevity. On the reverse, a duck among reeds alludes to success in the Civil Service examination. The adroit use of the stone's three distinct tones to articulate these motifs lends the bottle exceptional visual clarity and impact.
Compare with a related cameo snuff bottle, 18th century, in the Seattle Art Museum (33.994), which is illustrated by B.Stevens, , New York, 1976, p.135, no.481.
