The painted enamel snuff bottles in the Palace Museum collections in the famille rose palette are the most beautiful and pleasing to the eye. The paintings in bright blues and rose and greens and yellows are attractive and showed off the skills of the artist painters.
This tradition continues on to the present time, and this bottle is a fine contemporary bottle, exhibiting the same famille rose colors painted exquisitely and in great details on this flattened globular shape bottle. The artist is well versed in the flower painting traditions and he grouped the well loved flowers in a still life on both sides. He was also presenting auspicious flowers, fruits and plants - pomegranates (fertility) growing from a vase, lilies (purity) in a bonsai pot decorated with river stones, peonies (riches and beauty) in an antique pot, and nameless orange fruits in the fore and backgrounds. On the other side, he painted peaches (longevity) in an antique ceramic pot, and in another are two lingzhi fungus (longevity) and more peonies, and lilies. It is matched with a brown agate cap with a cork stopper and brass spoon.
The raised oval foot has a spurious four character mark of "made in the reign of Yongzheng" This is no doubt done in tribute to the fine art works produced during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the 18 Century.
