Probably Beijing Palace Workshops, 1750–1850

Imperial yellow glass carved with sprays of lilies and lingzhi growing from rockwork on one side, and banana leaves and lingzhi growing from rockwork with a butterfly on the other side, each shoulder carved with a mock-mask ring-handle, the bottle of flattened round form with a tall broad neck and recessed foot.

Lilies and fungus form the rebus "May one hundred things be as you wish." See Terese Tse Bartholomew, Hidden Meaning in Chinese Art (San Francisco: 2006), no. 9.6.3.
