拍品資料及來源

A popular subject for the mid-Qianlong group of enamels represented by this example was a set of auspicious objects hanging from beaded cords. The evidence so far suggests that they are palace products. The range of glass is typical of the palace workshops, as are the enamels, and they are related through various intermediate bottles to the broader group of experimental enamels produced after the 1767 completion of the Guyue xuan, one of which quite clearly states that it was produced at the palace workshops (Sale 7, lot 145).

This lobed form suits the design to perfection, and another courtly connection is established through the shape, which echoes a group of palace agate bottles known to have been produced during the second half of the Qianlong reign (see Sale 7, lot 80).

This bottle almost certainly had an iron-red Guyuexuan mark at one time, but the foot rim has been reduced slightly to remove outer-edge chips, and any trace of an original mark was lost in the process.
