Description:

Although this vase and its pair, N4643, have marks of the Qianlong reign period (1736-1795), they were probably made later. Qianlong marks were sometimes put on later pieces to try to increase their value because Qianlong period glass was famous for its high quality.

Chinese Description:

玻璃瓶一对 中国，清朝或中华民国时期，约1800-1950 虽然这对红色玻璃瓶刻有「乾隆年制」的款识，但其制作年代可能稍晚。乾隆年间的所出的玻璃器皿向以精良见称，其帝号款标或会刻于年代稍晚的制品上，以提高器物的价值。 玻璃 刻有篆体｢乾隆年制｣四字，疑为后人所加
