In sandwiched pink and white glass, the color comes from powdered ruby glass added to the inner surface. This was a popular staple at the Court during the eighteenth century, where it was also carved as a series of lotus-petal bottles (see lot 44). This is probably an Imperial bottle, but such plain wares may also have been made privately at the same time, inhibiting a firm attribution.
