拍品資料及來源

The temptation to attribute this example to the imperial glassworks is based on two main features it possesses that suggest a link to the court—in addition to the use of ruby-red glass, which may have been confined to court production during the earlier part of the eighteenth century. These are the rope border and circular panels of decoration. The ground and overlay colours are both very similar to Sale 6, lot 240, providing further endorsement of the attribution.

The design is rare among glass snuff bottles and, while rather formal, is impressive, exquisitely well carved, and certainly comparable with other bottles attributed to the earlier part of the Qianlong period. The ground plane likewise displays the impeccable integrity would be expected of an early date. While the first half of the Qianlong period must remain its most likely date, it might have been made as late as the mid-reign.
