Chinese Vase

Orange so even and glossy it looks almost liquid.

This vase comes from Hebei Province, China, and is contemporary, in Peking glass. Peking glass, made in imitation of porcelain and precious stones, generally refers to the opaque, brightly colored glass first produced in imperial workshops in Beijing during the Qing dynasty. The vase has a full, pear-shaped body that narrows to a slim waist and opens into a flared mouth. Shallow vertical lobes run faintly down its sides. The color is a warm, saturated orange throughout, with a high polish that catches the light. It is 16 inches high and 7 in diameter.

A single color, and plenty of confidence.
