In the Qing Dynasty, the production of glass products began to develop, with exquisite and complex craftsmanship. The variety of glass ware is very rich, with more than 20 types of monochrome glass alone. Multicolor glass includes stirred glass, Venus glass, stippled gold, colored glass, and wrapped wire glass, as well as a large number of glass sets. These glass products are crystal clear, magnificent and exquisite. In the late Qing Dynasty, the firing of glass gradually declined. This cup can be regarded as a representative work of glass ware during the Daoguang period
