History

This vase was produced by the Dalian Glass Company in China, likely between the 1950s and 1980s during a period when Chinese glassmakers were developing their own distinctive styles while incorporating Western influences. The white opaline glass base with vibrant multicolored swirls represents a technique that became popular during this era of Chinese glass production. Dalian Glass vases are appreciated for their distinctive combination of traditional Chinese craftsmanship with modern design elements. Collectors of mid-century decorative arts and Chinese export glass particularly value these pieces for their aesthetic appeal and as representatives of a specific period in Chinese industrial arts development.
