Hi Charll :

Hi George :

The description "Jade belt" is used in many area.... Description for banded agate bottle and actually, the term is also used in FengSui whereby a piece of land or house has the left, right and front cuddle by a peaceful, smooth flowing river.

It comes from a Chinese proverb "玉带环腰" which can be translated to "Jade belt around the waist" ..... It's a proverb to descript someone that is rich and/or powerful .... Bec in olden time, only such people can afford a belt that is made of pieces of Jade joined together.

In snuff bottle, any agate bottle that has a white complete ring around the bottle is descripted as a "Jade belt" bottle (玉带壸) The more white band the merrier as it signified more belts made in Jade and therefore richer.
