$980.00

6 1/4”W x 6 3/4”H x 6 1/4”D

Behold an exquisite example of Chinese decorative arts: a Peking overlay glass censer, its form both ancient and strikingly modern. A vibrant ruby-red ground forms the canvas for an intricate overlay of deep forest green glass, masterfully carved in a relief pattern featuring auspicious motifs. Glimmers of gold flecks suspended within the glass add ethereal highlights, catching the light and lending the piece a captivating luminosity.

Rising on three stylized feet, the censer is surmounted by a fitted lid adorned with delicate lotus flower engravings, an embodiment of purity and spiritual awakening. The piece is further distinguished by a multi-character seal mark on its base, evoking the illustrious Qianlong Emperor (1735-1796).

This censer transcends mere functionality, becoming a testament to the artistry and skill of Chinese glassmakers. It is a captivating dialogue between color, form, and symbolism, inviting the viewer to contemplate the rich cultural heritage of the Qing Dynasty and its enduring influence on contemporary design. In great condition.
