The colour of the present vase is known in Chinese as niehuang (涅黃), literally 'opaque yellow'. The term nie (涅) is believed to derive from the Manchu word dushun meaning 'dim' or 'opaque', a reference to the distinctive opacity of the material. This colour was achieved through the addition of an opacifying agent to the glass body, producing a rich, opaque yellow appearance.
The mask adorning the present lot derives from the motif found on archaic bronze vessels. Reflecting the Qianlong Emperor's profound reverence for antiquity, Qing Court craftsmen frequently drew inspiration from ancient prototypes, reinterpreting their forms and decorative motifs in a wide range of media as seen in the present lot. Compare with a related yellow glass '' brush washer, Qianlong, in the collection of the Beijing Palace Museum, illustrated in (春水秋英：故宮博物院藏清代玻璃器), Beijing, 2009, pp.168-169.
