European clocks and watches reached their greatest popularity during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods. This snuff bottle acknowledges the court's fascination with European culture where the 'clock' subject is also seen in other materials including porcelain and crystal. Compare with a black overlay pink glass snuff bottle from the Linda Riddell Hoffman Collection, which was sold at Bonhams New York, 22 March 2011, lot 88.

玻璃質，內透明白料，外套藍料做懷錶錶盤形，兩側藍料做連枝花卉。

參考一件Linda Riddell Hoffman舊藏之粉料套黑料鼻煙壺，2011年3月22日售於紐約邦瀚斯，拍品編號88。
