A small number of enamelled clear glass vessels for the scholar’s table
bearing blue-enamel Qianlong marks have been published. A water pot
from the A.W. Bahr and Paul and Helen Bernat collections was included (mark)
in The China Institute of America 1990 exhibition Clear as Crystal, Red as
Flame, Later Chinese Glass, Catalogue, no. 23; and again, in the Min Chiu
Society Exhibition, Splendour of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1992,
illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 417, no. 284. Two brush washers in this style
have been published: one sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 April 1996,
lot 33; the other was illustrated by Hugh Moss, ‘Enamelled Glass Wares of
the Ku Yueh Hsuan Group’, Journal of the International Chinese Snuff Bottle
Society, vol. X, no. 2, June 1978, pl. 14, no. 7, where Moss states that ‘this
type of enamelled clear glass ware is of the highest quality of any known
from China’. A clear glass water pot enameled with the Eight Buddhist
Emblems, formerly in the Mary and George Bloch Collection, was sold at
Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 23 October 2005, lot 146.
