Since then, ‘Peking Glass’ has become synonymous with the Chinese technique of glassmaking. Robert Kuo glass pieces are made from the traditional Peking glass technique of forming hollow glass, from layers upon layers of glass, by either free blowing or mold-blowing and then sending it to the jade carvers for shaping and polishing. Robert Kuo expands the tradition by designing pieces that compliment the classic shapes while presenting a clearly contemporary attitude.
