This Chinese Peking glass bottle vase originates from the 20th century, displaying a vibrant cobalt blue hue across its polished surface. The construction incorporates an octagonal faceted globular body paired with a tall matching octagonal neck, forming a striking silhouette with sharp geometric panels. The monochrome design showcases a smooth reflective finish that catches the light along its flat facets and vertical angles. The object measures 19.5 cm high, 11 cm wide, and 11 cm deep. Such a vessel sits well on a sideboard top or as a centrepiece within modern living spaces, adding a splash of intense colour to a room. The minimalist profile makes it suitable for display either on its own as a sculptural object or holding a single stem of dried foliage. The compact footprint allows it to fit easily onto narrow console tables, shelving units, or mantelpieces, bringing a distinct mid-century oriental aesthetic into contemporary interiors.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century China during the Qing Dynasty, Peking glass is a form of blown or carved glass crafted to emulate precious gemstones or porcelain, often featuring distinct faceted shapes and saturated translucent or opaque colours.

Cobalt oxide is added to molten glass batches to achieve the deep blue coloration, after which the vessel is hand-blown or mould-formed and carefully ground or cut with faceted planes to refract light.

Authentic pieces generally demonstrate hand-carved or hand-ground surface facets, slight irregularities in symmetry, wear consistent with age around the unpolished foot rim, and appropriate weight characteristic of heavy leaded glass.

Placing vibrant blue glass vessels on window sills or brightly lit shelving allows natural sunlight to highlight the rich colour saturation and geometric cut facets, providing a bold accent against neutral backgrounds.

Wash the glass gently by hand using warm water and a mild non-abrasive detergent, taking care to dry it thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding abrasive scouring pads or extreme temperature shifts.
