The present vase with its unusual colour is a rare example of the glass wares produced by the Imperial workshops in imitation of lacquer, and most probably dates to the early Qianlong period. In an article by Zhong Rong, Researcher at the Beijing Palace Museum, published in Zhongguo Zhiyun, April 2010, Mufangxi, The Elegance of Imitation, the author states that as early as the fifth year of Yongzheng (1727) there is written record of the Courts request to make glass vessels in imitation of lacquered chrysanthemum dishes of the Ming dynasty Jiajing period in 15 to 20 different colours.
