Morgan vase was Chinese porcelain from the K'ang Hsi period of reign from 1662-1722, marking indicated it was used on writing tables of emperors, & nobles of the court. Actually the real Morgan vase has a fired finish that remembes Agata far more than anything like Peachblow. Kind of ironic they way we at times feel about Chinese stuff these days.

Really a type of once in a lifetime find so congrats to your stars being aligned & the use of your knowledge to recognize something special. Ken

Hobbs, Brockunier must have had a good UK agent because their glass is to be found here, unlike so many US manufacturers. Mostly it seems to have gone the other way in the 19th C

Paul S.:
thanks - it would seem that it is to the original Morgan Chinese ceramic vase (which understand was catalogued as Peach Bloom) that we owe the very existence of 'Peach Blow' glass.          Apparently the amber coloured stands in the form of stylized griffins are sometimes found being used as toothpick holders - so if anyone here has a toothpick holder................ ;)
quote............"Kind of ironic they way we at times feel about Chinese stuff these days".        Yes, a real irony.

Great piece, congratulations. :)
