  Imperial, palace workshops, Beijing, 1780–1850
  Height: 5.84 cm
  Mouth/lip: 1.06/2.10 cm

  The mask-and-ring handles here are remarkably similar to those on Sale 1, lot 96, and the wood moulds were probably carved by the same hand, suggesting that both date from the same period.
  
  A related design, but from a different set of moulds (although still four-part) is in Moss 1976, no. 150. Another similar example, but of a different design, was in the Ko Collection, Christie's, London, 9 October 1974, lot 166.

  本壺的獸首啣環耳酷似 第一場拍賣會， 拍賣品號 96 的，木模大概是同一個人雕琢的，因而兩件鼻煙壺好像是同一個時期作的。
  
  屬於同一種類的有 Moss 1976, 編號 150，及圖案相異的克立德珍藏藏品，倫敦佳士得，1974年10月9日，拍賣品號 166。
