The technique of faceting was introduced to Chinese Imperial craftsman by the Jesuits, and the overlapping radiating cuts recall the chrysanthemum flower. This profile also appears in bottles fashioned from glass, crystal, and agate, but the majority of extant bottles in jadeite share the pale blue color of the present example. This bottle was treasured by Bob Stevens, appearing as one of the Favorites Among the Favored in his classic 1976 overview The Collector's Book of Snuff Bottles. This bottle was later in the collection of Eric Young, offered with two others from this exclusive group in 1993. A fourth bottle in the Joe Grimberg collection was sold at Sotheby's New York 14 September 2010.
