The first bottle is of a type often used by the commercial Beijing school of inside painting artists working in the mid-19th century.
The bottle with 'bamboo' sides is an example of an early Imperial type made at the Court utilizing the technique of European faceting. The crizzling in the glass is suggestive of an early 18th-century date. Others of this type were produced in different colors, such as a sapphire-blue glass example in the Mary and George Bloch Collection, illustrated in Moss, Graham, Tsang, A Treasury of Chinese Snuff Bottles, The Mary and George Bloch Collection, Vol. 5, Part 2, Glass, Hong Kong, 2002, p. 281, no. 793.
