Realgar glass seems to have been among the earlier colors produced at the Court. Realgar glass bearing the Yongzheng reign mark remains in the Imperial Collection in Beijing, and there is a set of ten realgar glass cups purchased in China and brought back to Europe on the 'Kronprins Christian' in 1732. See Ethnographic Objects in The Royal Danish Kunstkammer 1650-1800, Nationalmuseet, nos. Ebc 71-82, p. 218.
