H: 22,5 cm Note: Traditionally in China, glass was a relatively non-essential material, used for decorative and ritual purposes, and was not commonly accessible to Chinese people until the early twentieth centu- ry. The change of status for glass - from a minor material to a functional material for making vessels, lenses, and windows - occurred in the late 17th century, when glassware and scientific instruments from Europe inspired Emperor Kangxi to establish his own glass workshop under the supervision of European missionaries, whom brought the Venetian technology to China. 烟色玻璃瓶 / 花瓶带 “ 乾隆年制 ” 仿款 中国，晚清至民国 IMPORTANT NOTICE: *This lot is under temporary importation.
