拍品資料及來源

The sandwiching here is less clear cut than that in the majority of those dealt with under Sale 1, lot 63; Sale 2, lot 61; Sale 7, lots 50, 52, 104, and 166; Sale 8, lots 1144 and 1180; and lot 124 in this sale, but of the same type. The sandwiched layer is less precisely contained, with colours appearing to blend into the upper and lower layers. The resemblance to tortoiseshell is obvious, and the intention may have been to imitate it, but the fact that tortoiseshell was not used extensively for snuff bottles makes this unlikely.
