Condition
The snuff bottle is in overall very good condition. There is a flaw in the material in the neck resembling a crack, but which is part of the original material. The actual colour of the stone is more pale celadon, less white compared to the catalogue illustration.

拍品資料及來源
This snuff bottle has several imperial features that together support a tentative attribution to the Palace workshops. It is adequately but not painstakingly hollowed through a wide mouth, has the flattened palace neck rim which appears on a number of nephrite bottles attributable to the court (see, for instance, lot 174 in the present sale) and retains its original stopper of typical Beijing shape.
The use of the chilong for the main decoration also supports a Palace workshops attribution. Chilong were particularly popular in court decoration during the Qing dynasty, and particularly so during the Qianlong period, and are rarely found as primary decoration outside of Beijing.
