Catalogue Note

The ground is the typical "snowstorm" so widely used during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Zhao Zhiqian considered red overlays on a "snowstorm" ground to be the best of old overlays.
Compare with a blue overlay bottle with a similar seal motif in the Gerry P. Mack collection, sold in our New York Rooms, 25 October, 1997, lot 1.
