From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

The vases, plum tree branches, books, rocks, and fruit shown on this snuff bottle are together known as “pure offerings of spring” (suizhao qinggong), a common motif in Chinese painting. These depictions of specific groups of symbolic and functional objects were typically created for the celebration of the New Year; they conveyed good fortune and acted as a reminder for optimism throughout the coming year.
