See a related bright yellow 'pushou' snuff bottle with similar 'Qianlong yuzhi' mark, illustrated by Robert Kleiner, Chinese Snuff Bottles in the Collection of Mary and George Bloch, British Museum, London, 1995, pl.111. Compare with a yellow glass snuff bottle with identical design, Beijing workshop, 1730-1800, 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.1181.

鼻烟壺扁瓶形,橢圓形圈足,通體黃色玻璃,俗稱鷄油黃色,一面飾夔龍紋,一面飾夔鳳紋,寓意「龍鳳呈祥」。底陰刻「乾隆御製」篆書款,帶粉紅色碧璽蓋。「乾隆御製」篆書款十分少見,參看一件鷄油黃舖首鼻烟壺,其底款和本拍品相似,見Robert Kleiner,《Chinese Snuff Bottles in the Collection of Mary and George Bloch》,大英博物館,倫敦,1995年,編號111。另可參考Hedda Franz伉儷收藏一件非常類似之乾隆鼻煙壺,惟無底款不同,見《Chinese Art from the Hedda and Lutz Franz Collection Glass》,香港,2011年,卷2,編號1181。
