Imperial, Beijing Palace Workshops, 1780-1830
Of full-bodied tapering ovoid form to a circular flat foot and inward to a slightly flared neck, carved in graduated high relief from the milk-white ground with an elegant phoenix perched on a rocky outcropping under a majestic pine tree growing from a mossy grotto, the stately pine flanked by peonies in full blossom under lingzhi-shaped clouds partially covering an emerging red sun, the masterfully carved scene finely decorated in 'famille-rose' enamels.

The superb carving and enameling on this bottle link it directly to a group of Guyue Xuan marked pieces, where the cooperation between the glass and enameling workshops could only have been possible under Imperial patronage. The iconography of the bottle, with the phoenix resting under a tree, links it to the Empress as a representative of Imperial power. Compare an exceptional bottle of tapered ovoid form carved with a golden phoenix under a sun reversed by one in flight, Yuanming Yuan, Guyue Xuan mark, 1767-1799, in the Crane Collection, bottle ID 203. Another related bottle is published by Moss, Graham and Tsang, , 1993, no. 202. See also a carved bottle of related shape and carving from the George and Miriam Bloch Collection, published by Moss, Graham, and Tsang, , no. 1101, pp. 218-19. And a carved and enameled bottle with a Guyue Xuan mark from the Rachelle Holden Collection was sold at Christie's New York, 24 March 2022, lot 811, carved with a basket filled with flowers.
