“COLORED glassware is as crystal as ice,so pure that it never gets stained with dust.”The beauty of glassware products is revealed in this poem by Yuan Zhen(779-831)“Ode to Glassware.”Glassware products are traditional Chinese handicrafts that have maintained a fine reputation for many generations.They have existed as decorations since the day they were born.Today,in the Palace Museum in Beijing,potted flowers made of glassware from the Qing Dynasty(1644-1911)can still be seen on display.
