Fine Chinese 3 Colour Glass Overlay Covered Jar Snowstorm Ground Republic 20c

About the Item

Presenting a fine three-color glass overlay covered jar, meticulously crafted in an ovoid form. The piece features a harmonious blend of milk white and ruby red glass overlay on a snowstorm ground, a technique that showcases the artisan's mastery over glasswork. The central tableau reveals an intricate array of finely carved flowers including plum blossoms, lotus, and peonies. Each floral motif is not merely decorative but carries significant cultural symbolism, from the plum blossoms representing resilience to the lotus symbolizing purity. The milk white glass borders serve to frame this vibrant scene, culminating in a lotus bloom finial that echoes the floral theme. Adding to its historical resonance, the jar bears an apocryphal four-character seal mark for Qianlong on its base. While the mark pays homage to the artistic achievements of the Qianlong period, it also serves to authenticate the piece's fine craftsmanship. This covered jar is more than a decorative object; it encapsulates the intricate craftsmanship and rich symbolism that are hallmarks of fine Chinese glasswork. Its blend of aesthetic beauty, intricate detailing, and cultural significance makes it an invaluable addition to any collection of Chinese art or glass artifacts. circa 1910-1930, early 20th Century
