Description :
Red and White Peking Glass Snuff Bottle 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 bright white base with a brilliant red making up the outer layers. The designs on all sides are horses and the bottle has a red band at the top rim and bottom giving it an overall well finished look. Even though this was created as a functional item, this is truly a piece of art! The bottle with it's glass lid stands 3" tall. The lid, stopper and carved bone spoon are all in good condition.
