This bottle represents an extremely rare design and shape for one of the Imperial sets from the Jiaqing reign.

The subjects depicted on each side were popular stories that appear regularly on Qing artworks. Zhang Qian was a Han dynasty imperial envoy and traveller. The subject of Zhang Qian in his log boat was a popular theme during the Ming and early Qing periods, and is most often seen in rhinoceros horn carvings. On the other side, Zhinu, the Goddess of Weavers and daughter of the Sun King, looks across the sky at the Oxherd. According to legend, Zhinu was so industrious that her father worried she spent too much time at the loom, so he arranged for her to marry a young man who herded cattle on the banks of the Milky Way. After the marriage Zhinu did not do any weaving at all, so her father separated her from the Oxherd on the other side of the river of stars that was the Milky Way. The two were allowed to meet only once a year, when a flock of magpies forms a bridge across the river of stars to bring the couple together (E.T.C. Werner, A Dictionary of Chinese Mythology, p. 673).
