Chinese Peking Glass Bok Choy Charm, c. 1920

About the Item

Although practiced for centuries, Chinese glass-making gained prominence during the Qing-dynasty with the introduction of Peking glass. Adapting European technologies, workshops in the Imperial Palace began creating layered and intricately-carved glass pieces that mimicked the translucency of jade, semiprecious stones, and rare jewels. This Peking glass charm is sculpted as a tiny bok choy cabbage, a symbol humility and wealth. The little charm is made of white, green, and yellow glass, the green end feathered and pinched to resemble crinkled leaves and the white underlayer stretched to resemble long stalks. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.

Chinese Bamboo Cloth Teapot, c. 1900

Located in Chicago, IL

Tea drinking has been an integral part of Chinese culture for centuries, resulting in a wide range of social customs and material traditions.

This charming teapot dates to the late Qing dynasty and is hand-carved from a hollow length of bamboo to appear as though parceled by a cloth strung with tassels. The teapot has a squat, rounded form and a dark brown finish, reminiscent of Yixing red clay teapots...

Tea drinking has been an integral part of Chinese culture for centuries, resulting in a wide range of social customs and material traditions. In addition to tea leaves, water, and heat, the art of drinking tea (chayi) calls for a variety of teaware and utensils - both practical and decorative.

The handle is carved to resemble a thin branch, which forks to either side of the teapot bearing long, slender leaves. The teapot has a squat, rounded form and a dark brown finish, reminiscent of Yixing red clay teapots...
