About the Item

An exquisite antique Chinese Hand Carved Peking Glass Snuff Bottle. Hand crafted in beautiful imperial yellow colored glass. The glass is slightly translucent almost looking like milky baltic amber under light. Please see all photos. In excellent condition without any damage. Peking glass is a centuries-old Chinese decorative art form involving layered colored glass that is carved to reveal a raised, multi-colored design. The process begins by dipping a blown-glass object into molten colored glass multiple times to create distinct layers. Artists then meticulously carve away the outermost layers to expose the colors underneath, forming intricate patterns of flowers, animals, and landscapes. This technique, which originated in the Qing Dynasty, was at its peak under the Qianlong Emperor and was used for items like snuff bottles, vases, and jars.
