Glass has a development history of over 3000 years in China. In ancient times, as glass manufacturing required the special high temperature condition and very complex process technologies, glassware was always luxuries preferred by royal families, military and political leaders and top class. As glassware looks clear, translucent, sparkling, moistening, ancient people regarded them as invaluable assets and symbols of identity and honors. When it came to Qing Dynasty, Emperors Kangxi, Qianlong and Yongzheng loved glassware very much, so they even built glass factories under royal workshops at all costs in the Forbidden City and invited foreign missionaries to station at and manage these workshops. A lot of skillful craftsmen were hired to create a large number of incomparable glassware for the royal palace of Qing Dynasty. The beautiful glassware became exquisite artworks appreciated and played by nobles in the Forbidden City. At the same time, emperors of Qing Dynasty regarded glass works as new favorites and important articles for rewarding.
