拍场告示
Please note that this bottle is decorated with coral insets, not coral-colored glass, as indicated in the catalogue description.
A very rare example, this bottle was likely made as a gift to a visiting Mongolian dignitary. The use of materials and techniques is lavish, particularly the amber glass ground.
