Beijing material ware is a kind of glass art spread in Beijing. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor ordered the Ministry of work to set up an imperial factory in Beijing Liulichang to manufacture materials and vessels for the imperial court, which was known as "official materials" and "imperial Liuli". After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, the manufacture of materials and utensils changed from the palace to the folk, forming a strong Beijing characteristics. Beijing material production has a high demand for artists. It uses low melting point glass as raw material. It does not need molds or drawings. It relies on forceps and scissors for manual operation and takes shape at one time. The materials and utensils are lustrous, delicate, colorful and exquisite. There are thousands of products in Beijing, from daily ornaments such as jewelry to ornamental handicrafts such as birds and animals, flowers and fruits, figure carving, etc. Among them, imitation jade ware products can be a few real, amazing. At present, there is only one master craftsman in Beijing. Because of the difficulty of technology, the long time of studying art and the lack of practitioners, this traditional folk art is in danger of being lost and needs to be protected and revitalized.
