|This bottle exemplifies one of Liu's finest works. The theme easily reminds people many of the master inside-painted snuff bottles by Ma Shaoxuan. 'Bapo'八破 paintings are also known as Jipo hua吉破畫 (lucky broken [objects] paintings). It refers to a painting style popular in China during the 19th and early 20th Century depicting scraps of prints, calligraphy, paintings, or printed books pasted together at random. The term 'broken' in the poem, however, is used to describe the state of mind and spirit when one falls so deeply into a melancholy reverie that life takes on the aspect of a dream.劉守本 玻璃內畫八破圖鼻煙壺
