About the Item

Chinese Peking Cut Blue & White Cameo Glass Vase, Ca. ca.1900-1920 DIMENSIONS: Height: 12.5 inches Diameter: 5.5 inches ABOUT CHINESE PEKING GLASS Peking cut blue & white cameo glass refers to a specific style of Chinese art glass that became particularly popular during the late Qing Dynasty (especially under the reigns of Emperors Daoguang, Xianfeng, and Guangxu in the 19th century). Here's a breakdown of what it means: PEKING GLASS is a type of high-quality Chinese glassware that originated in the Qing Dynasty, particularly produced in Beijing (formerly spelled "Peking"). It was often used for imperial and high-status decorative objects, including vases, snuff bottles, and bowls. The glass was blown or molded and then often carved or overlaid, similar to cameo glass in the West. CAMEO GLASS TECHNIQUE Cameo glass is created by layering different colored glasses, usually by blowing or fusing multiple layers. Then, artisans carve away parts of the upper layers to reveal contrasting colors below—producing intricate designs, often in relief. This technique creates a decorative surface with contrasting motifs, such as floral patterns, mythical animals, or auspicious symbols. BLUE & WHITE CAMEO GLASS In blue & white Peking cameo glass, the top layer is typically a rich cobalt or sapphire blue, while the underlayer is a milky white glass. Artisans cut away the blue surface to reveal the white beneath, forming delicate, raised designs. The effect is similar in appearance to Chinese blue and white porcelain, though made entirely of glass. COLLECTIBILITY & USE These pieces were often made for imperial use or export, and high-quality examples are highly collectible today. Items include snuff bottles, vases, brush pots, bowls, and tableware, often showcasing intricate floral or symbolic Chinese motifs. Authentic antique Peking cameo glass is valuable and often found in museum collections or high-end auctions.
