Topic: white flowers encased in clear glass - Chinese?

[kmax70]

Another Ebay purchase because I liked it, and which I would now like to be able to identify, if possible.   I suspect it is Chinese - it has an unpolished uneven base.   The flowers are well formed, the leaves less so.      It measures approx. 2.75 ins in diameter.  Many thanks for any help you can give.

You are correct - it is Chinese, actual maker unknown.

Thanks - is it modern?

Hi.  This style has been made for some time, and is still available from Chinese factories.  So if modern means since 1950, then modern.

Thanks - possibly vintage then.  It has a certain charm - especially where one of the leaves has drifted off the plant.  KM.

Regardiing "vintage" and "age", please see my comments in Alan's thread about Vintage paperweight = what age
