The likely imperial provenance ascribed to this bottle is based upon two main features—apart from the use of ruby-red glass, which may have been an imperial prerogative for much of the eighteenth century. The chi 螭 dragon design was one of the most popular at court, and in this particular version, with the beasts confined to the narrow sides and tails curling beneath the bottle to form the foot rim, it can be associated with another group of glass and semi-precious hardstone bottles believed to have been made for the court, initially during the second half of the Qianlong period.
The other clue is provided by the transparent golden-yellow ground that is known to have been an imperial colour of the Qianlong period.
This seems to be a Beijing style, and is probably from the imperial glassworks.
This colour combination of ruby red on golden yellow is a rare one, despite its obvious appeal. The two dragons are powerfully carved, with distinctly feline bodies and confident execution.
