Bittersweet Peking Small Double Gourd Vase (1200-0922)
The Bittersweet Peking Small Double Gourd Vase is made of unique layered glass, a complex process of blowing, carving then dipping multiple times. The wonderful deep coral orange is a special color in the Ming Dynasty, as it historically represented fire and desire, and was highly prized in the emperor's palace for its brilliance.
