| Description | A green and brown jadeite double (a) bottle in the form of two melons. Each melon forms a separate container with its own (b) and (c) stopper in the shape of butterflies. The brown is part of the outer rind of the original pebble. Double bottles for two kinds of snuff were late, and these seem to be purely ornamental. |
