This bottle belongs to a group of bamboo bottles of distinctive type, apparently developed in the Beijing Palace workshops during the late 18th century.

Bamboo veneer, or zhuhuang, was a technique developed in Jiangxi province in the mid-Qianlong period and taken up by the Palace Workshops thereafter remaining popular at the Court well into the 19th century. It required tremendous skill, using the inner layer from the cortex of the bamboo, which was resistant to insects, to create the veneer. This was then decoratively applied to a base form, usually also made of bamboo, and subsequently carved.

The subject of the present bottle, the 100 shou longevity characters, is appropriately matched with the bamboo medium as the grass is known for its long life. A bamboo veneer bottle such as this would have been appropriate for a scholar-official in the court, because bamboo is also representative of the attributes of a gentleman, being strong, yet flexible, and evergreen (symbolizing constancy).

Literature comparison:
A bottle of the identical design is in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing and illustrated in Masterpieces of Snuff Bottles in the Palace Museum, Beijing, 1995, fig. 186, p. 181. Another identical bottle, from the collection of Denis Low, is illustrated in Robert Kleiner, Treasures from the Sanctum of Enlightened Respect, Hong Kong, fig. 207, 1999, p. 242. This spade-shaped example probably bears the closest comparison to two moon-flask bottles illustrated in Snuff Bottles in the Collection of The National Palace Museum, Taipei, 1992, Catalogue, nos. 414 and 415, p. 271.

此類鼻煙壺為十八世紀晚期北京清宮廷御作坊所製。

竹簧是一大發明與創造,至乾隆中期在江西地區竹簧工藝達到高峰,並被宮廷御作坊採用,此後一直在清廷中流行到 19 世紀。其製作工藝相當複雜,將竹子留下薄層的竹簧,經過煮、曬、壓平後,膠合在木胎上,然後磨光,再在上面刻飾各種圖案。

此瓶題材為百壽字,寓意吉祥;而竹子又是四君子之一,剛勁而不失柔韌,像這樣的竹簧鼻煙壺,適合宮廷朝臣使用。
