  The white translucent glass round neck and shoulder cut rectangular bottle, slightly raised on all sides, is open lighted. The neck is painted with banana leaves, and the shoulders are covered with yellow ground curling grass patterns. The light is fine and colorful, and the side light is painted with carmine to paint Western landscapes. The bottom is blue with the Song typeface “made in the year of Qianlong”, with an opaque green glass top. The shape of this square bottle is similar to the transparent glass square bottle of snuff imported in the Qing Dynasty.
