KEROSENE GLASS GLOBE WITH A DOVE AND OLIVE BRANCH IN HER MOUTH. UNKNOWN CHINESE MAKER

UNKNOWN MAKER OF THIS CHINESE KEROSENE GLASS GLOBE

 

It is embossed with a dove who has an olive branch in her mouth.  I had help from a Chinese Teacher to translate the characters that are embossed in the globe.  Translated = 'Production Co.' which, of course, does not help in figuring out who made this globe.  It was mounted in a Chinese Lantern which could not be saved. Interestingly, it was the first mfg. Hot blast Chinese lantern I had come across.

 

It is heavily bubbled and is hand blown.

    Incidentally, the illustration shows a "dove of peace", with the typical olive branch. This image was very well known throughout the socialist social system and was used a lot during the Cold War. But it also has a historical significance: the dove as a symbol of peace was already used in Greece, and in the Bible (Gen 8:11) a dove returns to Noah on the ark with a fresh olive branch.
