Peking glass originated in China in the 18th century, after Jesuit missionaries introduced modern glass-making methods. Soon after, the Kangxi Emperor established an Imperial glass-works to produce snuff-bottles and vases, usually imitating jade and other precious stones.

The craft then spread and was adopted by artisans across China, reaching a golden age under the Qianlong Emperor. Do feel free to get in touch with any queries. As members of the British Antique Dealers' Association (BADA), we are obliged to adhere to their rules of conduct.
