VINTAGE CHINESE PEKING VASE: BLUE FLOWERING VINE OVERLAY

This listing is for a beautiful Chinese orange Peking glass jar with overlay of flowering vines. Chinese Overlay Carved Glass, also known as Peking Glass (Tao Liao Ping in Chinese), is a traditional form of art that 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 certain designs. It is a lengthy and tedious process that is time consuming and labor intensive. However, the result is exquisite and exotic, unlike carved glass from other countries and regions.

As one can see from the photos, the glass is in excellent condition with no cracks, nics, or chips. This peking glass jar is a perfect item for any collector of Chinese art and would look beautiful displayed in any home. The following will describe the item in further detail:
