A TRANSLUCENT AQUAMARINE GLASS ‘COSMIC EGG’, HAN DYNASTY
China, 202 BC to 220 AD. The ritual object of ovoid form, the deep-blue glass of high translucency.

Provenance: Paolo Bertuzzi (1943-2022), who was a fashion stylist from Bologna, Italy. He was the son of Enrichetta Bertuzzi, founder of Hettabretz, a noted Italian fashion company with customers such as the Rothschild family, Audrey Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor. Paolo Bertuzzi later took over his mother’s business and designed exclusive pieces, some of which were exhibited in the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, USA. He was also an avid collector of antiques for more than 60 years. His collection includes both archaic and contemporary art, and he edited two important books about Asian art, Goa Made - An Archaeological Discovery, about a large-scale archaeological project carried out with the Italian and Indonesian governments, and Majapahit, Masterpieces from a Forgotten Kingdom.

In Chinese history, glass played a peripheral role in arts and crafts when compared to ceramics and metal work. The limited archaeological distribution and use of glass objects are evidence of the rarity of the material. Literary sources date the first manufacture of glass to the 5th century AD. However, the earliest archaeological evidence for glass manufacture in China comes from the Warring States period. The Chinese learned to manufacture glass comparatively later than the Mesopotamians, Egyptians and Indians. Imported glass objects first reached China during the late Spring and Autumn and early Warring States periods, c. early 5th century BC, in the form of polychrome ‘eye beads’. These imports created the impetus for the production of indigenous glass beads. During the Han dynasty, the use of glass diversified. The introduction of glass casting in this period encouraged the production of molded objects, such as bi disks and other ritual objects.

The cosmic egg is a mythological motif found in the cosmogonies of the Proto-Indo-European culture and several other major civilizations. Typically, the world egg is a beginning of some sort, and the universe or some primordial being comes into existence by "hatching" from the egg, sometimes lain on the primordial waters of the Earth. Eggs symbolize the unification of two complementary principles (represented by the egg white and the yolk) from which life or existence, in its most fundamental philosophical sense, emerges.

In the myth of Pangu, developed by Taoist monks hundreds of years after Lao Zi, the universe began as an egg that symbolizes the primordial state of Taiji. A primeval hermaphroditic giant named Pangu, born inside the egg, broke it into two halves: the upper half became the sky, while the lower half became the earth. As the god grew taller, the sky and the earth grew thicker and were separated further. Finally Pangu died and his body parts became the sun, moon, different parts of the earth and living things. The first writer to record the myth of Pangu was Xu Zheng during the Three Kingdoms period. Recently his name was found in a tomb dated AD 156, during the later Han period.

在中國歷史上，與陶瓷和金屬製品相比，玻璃在手工藝品中扮演著外圍角色。有限的考古出土説明了玻璃製品的使用并不廣汎。中國最早的玻璃製造大約在戰國時期。中國人學會製造玻璃的時間比美索不達米亞人、埃及人和印度人要晚。進口玻璃器物在春秋末戰國初期首次到達中國，這些進口產品推動了本地玻璃的生產。漢代，玻璃的用途非常多樣化。
