A pair of jade colored Chinese Peking glass bowls with foliate rims. The glass is thick and shiny.
The bowls were molded and then finished by hand. The underside of the foliate rim is incised and the edges appear to have been ground and polished. The foot rings are raised and rounded. The word CHINA is incised into the base of both bowls.

CONDITION
There are no breaks, cracks, chips, or repairs and the bowls are quite shiny. There are fine wear scratches to the rims and base. One bowl shows a few scratches in the well and this bowl also has what appears to be an air bubble embedded into the glass near the rim. One bowl is a bit thicker and heavier than the other.
