Vase
Description:
This vase came into the museum as Chinese but its baluster shape and marbled finish suggests that it is European. The finish seems to have been made using a technique called lithyalin, patented by Friedrich Egermann (1777-1864) in Bohemia (today’s Czech Republic) during the 1820s. Its popularity lasted only into the 1850s after which production stopped.

玻璃瓶 可能出自捷克共和国（波希米亚），约1828-1855 这玻璃瓶子被认为来自中国，但其瓶式鼓腹连座，再加上大理石般的纹理，显示它也许是来自欧洲。这颜色变化多姿的纹理乃采用多重玻璃熔合法制作的。此技法由波希米亚（今捷克共和国）的工艺家弗里德里克．艾格曼（Friedrich Egermann）（1777-1864）研发，并于1820年代获得专利权。这瓶样一直流行到1850年代，即停止出产。 玻璃Creator: Unknown

Vase
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.

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Creator: Unknown
