China, 1750-1850, wheel-cut four-character mark Qianlong nian zhi to base and probably of the period. Flattened, rounded form, the opaque glass of a rich egg-yolk yellow tone.Provenance: Old French private collection. Rieunier, Paris, 21 July 2005. French private collection, acquired from the above. A copy of the invoice accompanies this lot.Condition: Superb condition with old wear and some minimal manufacturing flaws such as minuscule bubbles and glass swirls.'Imperial' yellow is among the earliest colors produced in the Kangxi Glassworks, from 1696 onwards. It was reserved for Imperial use, and a variety of different tones were made at the Imperial glassworks throughout the Qing dynasty, ranging from a relatively pale yellow to a much richer, egg-yolk tone. The present piece belongs to the group of pale varieties, very close to what is generally regarded as the 'definitive' Imperial Yellow. For this reason, it is this author's opinion that the bottle is likely from the Qianlong period.Stopper: Aventurine cabochon and finely carved fitting and spoonWeight: 116.3 g Dimensions: Height including stopper 80 mm.
