A REALGAR-SPLASHED DOUBLE-GOURD GLASS BOTTLE, 18TH- early 19TH CENTURY Katalognummer: CA0918-087 Transparent brown glass bottle with scattered realgar inclusions. Some air bubbles. Intense colors. China 18th – early 19th century The bottle is of elegant double-gourd form made of transparent deep amber-tone glass accented with brilliant splashes of ochre and orange. 'Realgar' glass is assumed to have been developed at the Imperial glassworks during the Kangxi period (1662-1722), when production was under the directorship of Kilian Stumpf and his fellow Jesuits, who set up the glassworks for the Emperor in 1696. Plain realgar glass snuff bottles were made in large numbers throughout the 18th century and a large proportion of them were apparently produced at the court to be distributed as gifts. By the mid-Qing period, carved realgar began to take fashion among the glassworks and many fine examples were produced with this style of decoration. Shape: Double-gourd form. Hollowing: Standard. Mouth, neck and lip: Short sprawling neck with slanted lip and flat top Base: Round convex base Stopper: Incised metal on a black platelet, good old spoon. Height of the bottle with stopper: 6,8 cm.
