This piece is designed to emulate the rare and coveted "Tri-Color" (Fuk-Luk-Sau) jadeite, featuring vibrant splashes of imperial green, honey yellow, and soft lavender against a translucent camphor-glass matrix.

Materials & Artistry:

Body: High-density Peking Glass with a mottled, "snowflake" translucency. The colors are suspended within the glass, creating a depth that beautifully mimics natural stone.

Stopper: Features a well-fitted metal collar (silver-tone) topped with a vivid turquoise-blue cabochon.

Spoon: Includes an integrated long-reach spoon, intact and functional.

Condition & Authentication:
The bottle is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or visible bruising to the glass body.

Authenticity Note: This piece has been tested for density (Specific Gravity ~2.45) and UV fluorescence, confirming it as authentic early-20th-century Peking Glass rather than dyed modern resin.

Dimensions:

Height: 2.5" (with stopper)

Width: 2.78"

Total Weight: 1.9 oz (54g)

Bottle Only Weight: 1.7 oz (49g)

Collector’s Note:
The "Lavender" splash in this specific bottle is particularly well-saturated, making it a standout addition to a vitrine or a Chinese scholar's object collection.
