Of the various porcelain snuff bottles of this subject almost all were molded and then glazed with only a minimal of hand finishing like removing the mold lines.  This SB is a double-walled example that was then hand carved to make it fully reticulated with additional undercutting of the figures to make them more realistic.  I have found only one other example of this quality and it was described by Hugh Moss as being Qianlong Mark & Period.
