This four-color overlay-decorated blue glass jar displays superb carving workmanship. The
bulbous body is adorned with fine yellow, pink and red roses blossoming from lush, translucent
green branches. Butterflies flutter amongst the blooms, set upon a backdrop of exquisite
turquoise glass. The glasswork comes from the distinguished Gadient Collection, recognized
as one of the finest Chinese glass groupings in existence. Gadient glass pieces have been
exhibited nationally and internationally in some of the most prominent institutions in
the world. The jar will be offered in the June Fine Asian Works of Art Auction as lot
8078 with an estimate of $13,000-18,000.
