The Qianlong Emperor appears to have had a particular fascination with carved red-overlay glass works; the first entries in the Palace Archives relating to glass in the first year of the Qianlong reign cite an order for two red-overlay glass vases, one on an opaque white ground (see Luster of Autumn Water - Glass of the Qing Imperial Workshop, Beijing, 2005, p. 74).
Glass double-gourd shaped bottles of this size and shape appear to be rare. A related red-overlay glass double-gourd-shaped bottle, but decorated with vines, in the Robert H. Clague Collection is illustrated by C. Brown and D. Rabiner in The Robert H. Clague Collection: Chinese Glass of the Qing Dynasty 1644-1911, Phoenix Art Museum, 1987, p. 54, no. 62.
