Carving Overlay Glass
Glass Restoration
Much more research is needed in order to date these bottles, but it is generally now agreed that glass and metal, bottles were the earliest materials to be used. The problem is that the glass was used during the entire period of snuff bottles, up to date.
The Chinese had little use for the glass until the 17th century, mainly because of their high qualifications exquisite porcelain. They had no glass windows, contributing to semitransparent paper. We are not sure that the glass has been used centuries ago in China, but this, of course, they met the Europeans in good time for snuff bottles.
They saw it as a valuable material and succeeded in producing very fine works of art. Sometimes, they treated her like a stone and carved bottles from a single piece, or they blew the glass renewal into molds. Creating many unusual bottles of snuff from a transparent white as the background color for the overlay work. They also were able to control bubbles and the addition of white spots in the glass, the colors, such as the names of the APT have been created to offer: – soaked snow, camphor, and snowflakes.
These bottles are then immersed in molten bright colored glass, which would later be carved away to leave the Cameo style design. Some of them are passing more than once to provide more than one color layer. Another way is to apply to different areas of bottles of drops of molten colored glass. When they were carved snuff bottle can have up to as many as eight different colors carved cameo without increasing the number of layers.
For connoisseurs, the number of colors or layers is not very important, as it was not such a complicated process, and a much softer material to carve than stone. What is really needed to appreciate this quality of carving and overall design. It is often surprising and well-carved overlay glass scratch of one color will cost much more than multi-colored, but poorly finished the bottle.
To assess these bottles snuff color consideration, but great attention is paid to how the stone carvings Cameo, the quality of carving and especially to the way von finished closer to the edge of the overlay. I chose a red ruby overlay as a good example for the photo. It shows Vitus’ Chi lung or dragon on both sides as a mask with mythological animals and mock-ring handles on each shoulder 1750 – 1860. The dragon birth to use the mark, but as our zodiac signs. (See the photograph by clicking on the link at the end this article).
Although this was done in the same manner, the imposition of much more delicately carved and often even the thickness of the overlay is controlled to create shading. They are commonly used opaque white bottle in the background, but some of them also worked on other opaque colors. So far I have never seen on a clear and snowflake origin. The picture shows a fine bottle of school seal with a pair of cats play with a static insects among the flowers. On each side there is a bowl of fruit on the table, and on the back of another scene a drunken poet sleeps in the garden. (See the photograph by clicking on the link at the end of this article).
