'Beijing glass' is Western dealer-invent term to imply Imperial-quality glassware. What made 18th-19th century not made in Beijing and very little for Imperial household. Glassmakers longtime made glass items to imitate jade, other material. Imperial household have real jade, real coral, real ruby, real rock crystal, and glass utensils mainly inferior to porcelain.
Avoid term.
Good luck,
Cal
