Up for bidding is a beautiful, highly collectible vintage Chinese Peking cameo glass vase. This striking piece features a multi-layered design with a semi-opaque, milky-white glass core overlaid with a vibrant emerald-green glass layer that has been hand-carved away to create a stunning high-relief design.
Design & Iconography:
- Motifs: The hand-carved overlay depicts a traditional auspicious scene featuring a crane (or egret) bird in flight above a fully bloomed lotus flower and unfurling lily pads.
- Form & Finish: A classic baluster shape with a flared, green-rimmed neck and a solid green base. The underside reveals a completely smooth, flat-ground and polished foot ring base typical of authentic vintage Peking glasswork.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, scratches, or structural damage to the glass layers. The polished foot is clean, and the carved relief remains sharp and crisp. AI assures me the lines on the bottom are from production and not cracks, they do not feel like cracks. Please review all high-resolution photos for a closer look at the intricate details and exact condition.
Dimensions & Weight:
- Size: 8.5 inches tall x 4.5 inches wide
