Hi George,

It really is a beauty, wonderful motif as well.

It comes from 24 Paragons Filial Piety which we talked about long time ago.

"He Cried and the Bamboo Sprouted
Meng Zong's father died when he was young so he lived with his mother. Once, when his mother was ill, the physician suggested that she drink soup made from fresh bamboo shoots. However, it was in winter then and there were no bamboo shoots. In desperation, Meng went to the bamboo forest alone and cried. Just then, he heard a loud noise and saw bamboo shoots sprouting out of the ground. He was so happy that he collected them, went home and made soup for his mother. She recovered from her illness after drinking the soup."quoted from wikipedia.

Thank you Steven..

Another collector, separate from the forum noticed that it is dated.   I could only find one other dated porcelain snuff bottle.
