Peking Glass
Jeweled Colour
Imperial workshops mastered 'Peking Glass' in Peking during the Qing Dynasty. A kiln is filled with raw glass mixed with pigment. The melted glass is blown into the shape desired and then submerged repeatedly in molten glass, developing the beautiful colour rings. The glass must be cooled over a three-day period. The final shaping and polishing is done by hand in the old jade-cutting process of methodical grinding.
