Description
Beautiful Vintage engraved Peking glass overlay with blue orchid cactus. Pre-owned like new condition. Bought it in 1980 in Hong Kong and display in my cabinet ever since. Signed by artist Gally.
It measures 11 7/8″ high, the top diameter is 3 5/8 inch, the bottom is 2 3/4 inch in diameter.
Peking glass is an overlay carved glass which created by layering materials around the core, similar to cameo glass.
To create the overlay, a glass blower makes the shape, dips the shape into a basin of liquid glass several times. This process creates multiple layers of glass that are then hand carved away to produce a textured image.
Milky color is the base, then blue glass overlay on it to form a 3D image of the blue orchid cactus, handcrafted in detail, beautiful collection piece for all the collectors.
