There is an inscription on neck in black and two seals in red enamels. It is inscribed on the neck 露香秋色浅深中 (Lu xiang qiuse qianshen zhong ‘the fragrance of the dew wafts in mid autumn’). Two seals read 高致 (gaozhi ‘lofty demeanour’) and 秋士(qiushi ‘autumn scholar’). On base it is inscribed 純善堂製 (Chunshan Tang zhi ‘Made for the Hall of Pure Goodness’).Enamelled glassChina 中國Qing dynasty, about AD 1720–1800 Zhang Rong dates this to the 19th century to early 20th century, as it is not so well done as an 18th century piece. Furthermore, the colours, green and pink, are not typical of the 18th century. And finally, the seals are individual seals.
