Jades carved in this florid style originated in Hindustan in the Mughal period and began to come to China around the middle of the Qianlong Emperor's reign. The first carved jade bowl to have been sent from Central Asia as tribute is recorded for AD 1756, and thereafter tribute gifts of this type continued to arrive throughout the Emperor’s reign and beyond. At the same time Moslem jade carvers were brought to work in the Palace Workshops to fashion similar wares and as early as 1764, exact copies of Indian jades held at the palace were ordered from the Chinese craftsmen working at the court. 2. .
