Spectacular and large blue and white
Peking Glass vase in a classic shape with butterflies and flowers. This traditional form of art starts with a
one-color glass base, dipped into contrasting colored glass one layer at a
time. The artist then carves away portions of the overlaid glass to reveal
layers of other colors underneath, following particular designs. It is a process that is very time consuming and labor intensive.
However, the result is exquisite and exotic, unlike carved glass from other
countries and regions. This a wonderful find for the collector of Peking Glass. 12.25 inches, 31 cm.
