Description:

Although this piece bears a Chinese reign-mark, the style suggests that it is not Chinese. The elongated form and decoration look identical to Art Nouveau pieces produced by the Daum Frres workshops of Nancy, France in the 1910s. Original Daum pieces always carry a signature, which this piece does not have. It may be an imitation that was taken to China and later had a reign-mark added to increase its value.

Six-character sealscript mark of Qianlong reign period (1736-1795), later in date

Chinese Description:

玻璃瓶 可能出自欧洲，约1910-1920 这玻璃瓶虽然刻帝号款识，但其修长的瓶式及纹饰设计看来倒似1910年代法国南茜市（Nancy）多姆．佛雷尔（Daum Frères）工场制作的新艺术工艺品（Art Nouveau）。多姆的玻璃瓶总有其署名，但这玻璃瓶却没有。或许这是一件仿制品，藉添上帝号款识提高其价值。 刻有篆体「大清乾隆年制」六字，疑为后人所加 玻璃
