Beijing exhibition offers showcase of fine Qing Dynasty glassware

China Daily  

An undated photo shows ancient glassware on display at the Guardian Art Center in Beijing. An exhibition of fine glassware from the Qing Dynasty collected by the Palace Museum is currently on display at the Guardian Art Center in Beijing. And after more than 2,300 years of development, ancient Chinese glass production reached its peak during the Qing Dynasty. In 1696, the Qing palace established a glass workshop, through which it not only absorbed the advanced glass technology brought by missionaries from Europe, but also endeavored to maintain the traditional appearance and designs. The Palace Museum and the Guardian Art Centre hope that this exhibition will provide audiences with a visual feast that brings together Eastern and Western craft cultures, integrating traditional and modern aesthetic styles.
