See a very similar blue overlay opaque white glass snuff bottle with dragons, mid Qing dynasty, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Snuff Bottles, Hong Kong, 2003, p.40, no.57.Compare also with a similar example, in the Hedda and Lutz Franz Collection, which is illustrated in Chinese Art from the Hedda and Lutz Franz Collection Glass, Hong Kong, 2011, vol.2, no.1149.

鼻烟壺扁壺形,白地套藍色玻璃。壺體通景飾「二龍戲珠」紋,一條龍輾轉騰躍於翻滾的水面上,另一條龍頭部露出水面,身體潛入水中,正在相互追逐戲珠,底陰刻「乾隆年製」楷書款,帶銅鎏金雕花蓋。參考一件清宮舊藏白套藍玻璃龍戲珠紋鼻烟壺,見《故宮博物院藏文物珍品全集:鼻烟壺》,北京,2003年,圖版57號。 另可參考Hedda Franz伉儷收藏一件非常類似之鼻煙壺,惟底款不同,見《Chinese Art from the Hedda and Lutz Franz Collection Glass》,香港,2011年,卷2,編號1149。
