The rich and vibrant red color seen in the Imperial Palace glassware was best described in 1702 by Wang Shizhen in Xiangzhu biji "red as flame". According to Emily Byrne Curtis ,the composition of most of the red glass vessels from the Yongzheng and Qianlong period reigns contained gold. The brilliant red tone is caused by selective light scattering of the gold particles in the glass. Furthermore ,an inventory made in 1752 of the materials used in the Imperial glass works recorded the presence of ’three liang of top quality gold leaf for mixing with glass’. The techonology was succcessfully transferred from the court to Boshan ,another glassmaking center in Shandong province ,by 1820; see Pure Brightness Shines Everywhere. The Glass of China ,p.18.
