A magnificent vintage Chinese export plique-à-jour (transparent enamel) art glass bowl showcasing the rarest and most intricate multi-dragonfly masterwork design.
This highly coveted layout features a total of 7 exquisitely rendered dragonflies—six patterned symmetrically around the vibrant perimeter walls and a seventh anchoring the center as a flawless translucent medallion inside the bottom foot ring.
This piece demonstrates unparalleled workshop craftsmanship, using vitreous glass powder painstakingly kiln-fired inside a delicate, open brass wire framework. When backlit, the intense mosaic of sky blue, crimson red, marigold yellow, and vibrant green cells transforms into a brilliant, miniature stained-glass window.
