Description:

To make this bowl, the white glass was carved into a flower shape, and two enamel scenes were painted on. After the enamels had been fired-on, the painted areas of this bowl were cased in clear glass, probably by dipping the bowl into some hot clear glass. It is unusual for enamels to be cased in this way, but it may have helped to protect them.

Chinese Description:

玻璃碗 中国，清朝，约 1700-1800 这件玻璃碗制作精巧，工匠先将白玻璃雕琢成花状，并以珐瑯彩画了两组场景。珐瑯彩画经烧制后，工匠施以光釉。珐瑯彩绘甚少采用这类繁复的造工，但此法却更能保护胎体，使彩画更富光泽。 玻璃
