  清 瓷胎模製蓮花蝴蝶鼻煙壺
  
  壺扁圓形，棱狀直頸。壺身通體以彩釉裝飾，一側塑由四根系綬帶的蓮莖，其中兩根藤莖延伸至壺身兩面分別成一盤荷葉及一多荷花，荷葉、荷花上蝴蝶飛舞，綬帶飄風，花紅葉綠，荷塘花香。另外兩根蓮莖則延伸至足部荷葉，兩片荷葉包裹而成一圈足，別具匠心。
  
  此類煙壺多以同一個模模製而成，後配以人手上色，因此形製上一致，但顏色上會略有不同。其他模製莲花蝴蝶鼻煙壺的例子，可參考莫士撝, Victor Graham 及曾嘉寶著，《A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles: The Mary and George Bloch Collection》，第6冊，頁520-521，編號1233，此藏品其後拍賣於香港邦瀚斯，瑪麗及莊智博鼻煙壺珍藏：第四部份，2011年11月28日，拍品編號119。另一件屬Dennis S.
