The present vase belongs to a group of
glass wares made to imitate other types of
material, such as jades and other hardstones
which was a trend favoured by the Qianlong
Emperor. This vase was made to elegantly
and naturalistically replicate the colour
and appearance of amber. Comparable
Qianlong examples include an opaque
orange vase imitating realgar, illustrated by
H. Moss, Arts from the Scholar's Studio, The
Oriental Ceramic Society of Hong Kong and
University of Hong Kong, 1986, p. 127, no. 94.
