The shape and decoration of this light yellow long necked gourd bottle are both classic styles of Jingdezhen imperial works during the Qianlong period. The pattern design is elegant and noble, making it the most stylish imperial porcelain masterpiece of this type of handicraft. When Jingdezhen imperial porcelain craftsmen adopted the new techniques developed in Beijing during the early Qianlong period, such luxurious and tasteful decorations emerged.
 

The Zhadao Brocade Art originated from the Beijing Inner Palace Workshop, which is a decorative technique of carving formal patterns on the colored glaze ground. Its patterns are mostly made of brocade patterns such as flowers and heavy diamonds, and often appear on the outer wall of bowls and plates. The inner wall is painted with natural painting style to create an enjoyable scenery. In Jingdezhen, this style has gradually become mainstream and is becoming increasingly perfect, with exquisite and delicate phoenix tail patterns carved on the tip of a needle, making it extremely luxurious and intricate.
 

The intertwined flowers depicted in this bottle have clear light and shade, with soft and delicate tones. They are coiled around the golden outline of the alum red pattern, resembling a green and winding beam. Multiple colors overlap and overlap, making the composition meticulous and compact, which is truly rare.
