This antique Chinese Peking glass vase dates to the late Qing Dynasty period, circa 1900, and exemplifies the refined craftsmanship developed for both domestic appreciation and export markets. The vase features a classic white glass core encased in rich cobalt-blue glass, meticulously cut to reveal a repeating hexagonal pattern, creating striking depth and contrast.
Produced using traditional overlay (cased glass) techniques, the surface was hand-cut to expose the white interior beneath the blue exterior—an intricate process requiring exceptional precision and skill. The geometric hexagon motif reflects late 19th-century design preferences, blending decorative elegance with technical mastery.
Elegant in form, the vase presents a gently rounded body with a narrow neck and stable foot, making it a timeless decorative object suitable for both classical and contemporary interiors.
