Tina Yee-wan Pang ed., Heavenly Creations, Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Collections of Anthony Cheung, Humphrey Hui, Po-ming Kwong, Tuyet Nguyet and Christopher Sin, University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 2005, cat. no. 277.

彭綺雲編,《天地造化:鍾棋偉、許建勳、鄺溥銘、雪月及冼祖謙藏中國鼻煙壺》,香港大學美術博物館,香港,2005年,編號277
The current bottle showcases the beauty of the natural stone. The puddingstone itself is a conglomerate of pebbles cemented together in a matrix over billions of years, resulting in a strong visual interest.

抱子石為由許多小石經歷億萬年形成的礫岩,石材自身顏色對比鮮明,用以製作鼻煙壺尤能彰顯原石的天然美感。
