Chinese Imperial Yellow Peking Glass Vase, c. 1900
About the Item
A sumptuous example of Chinese Peking glass, this phoenix-tail vase is sculpted in a popular color known as "imperial yellow," "canary yellow" or "chicken-fat yellow." In a process similar to cameo glass, the vase began as a simple blown-glass form, which was then repeatedly dipped into liquid glass to create layers of rich yellow color. The soft outer layers were then artfully carved away to reveal a bas-relief design of peony flowers on one side, symbols of spring and love, and plum blossoms on the other, symbols of winter and longevity.
