‘Imperial’ yellow is among the earliest colors produced in glass
under the Kangxi Glassworks, from 1696 onwards. Because of
the opacifying agent, early yellow glass bottles do not exhibit
crizzling problems like other colors, such as ruby red. Plain, yellow
- glass bottles thus maintained a consistency of tone and texture
throughout the Qing dynasty.
