Lot Essay
This bottle belongs to a small group of transparent glass bottles mounted in European-style silver in elliptical designs. It seems unlikely that these bottles would have been sent to Europe to be mounted and returned and thus it is possible that the group was made in Guangzhou or at the Court to imitate a European style.
A transparent turquoise glass example from this group from the Bob C. Stevens Collection, Part III, was sold at Sotheby Parke Bernet New York, 25 June 1982, lot 50.
