What is Peking glass jewelry?
1 Answer
Peking glass is a form of decorative glassware that originated in the 18th century in Peking, China. It was originally used for glass snuff bottles but is now often used in jewelry. The process involves dipping a core into glass several times to create layers of glass that can be carved away to reveal an image or impression.
