Description :

Green and Blue Peking Glass Snuff Bottle with Orange Glass Top

Peking Glass is made by a cameo glass technique where a glass blower creates a core shape and then repeatedly dips it into molten, colored glass to build up layers.  Artisans then use jade carving tools to meticulously carve away the outer layers of glass to reveal intricate, high-contrast designs in the underlying colors.  The process creates dense, layered glass with a glossy finish, used for items like snuff bottles, vases, and figurines. For tiny snuff bottles, the center is usually also carved out, another painstaking part of the process.

This bottle has a base of pale jade green with cobalt blue outer layers of glass making up the Chinese characters and figures on the sides. The top is orange glass. This color combination is quite rare!

The top, stopper, and bamboo spoon are all in good condition and look to definitely be the original because of the exact size match to the bottle.
