Transparent emerald green glass was one of the standard colours of the Imperial glassworks during the Qing dynasty, both as a monochrome and for overlay carving, although this intense, dark emerald colour is unusual. These glass bottles, mostly Imperial, were made in large numbers to be distributed by the Qing Emperors as gifts to officials, scholars, military men and other worthies on specific occasions each year.
