Painting Three Master (Reverse Glass Painting) - Glass - Late 19th century

Beautiful and rare Chinese behind glass painting from the end of the 19th century, of an English three-master (broke) the GLASLYN at full sail at sea. Painting is painted on glass. This is probably a 19th century maritime souvenir that could be bought by sailors. This copy was made specifically for the European/English market. What is special is that the original oil painting on which this painting is based was purchased by the National Waterfront Museum in 1990 (see last image) .
Glass painting is still in very nice condition. Painting has both Asian and European characteristics. It is not signed.
The frame has some signs of use and is of a later date and is made of plastic. See also the photos for the condition.

Background The GLASLYN

The GLASLYN was a wooden barque of 763 gross tons built by the Pembroke Dock Co-operative Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. for Evan Jones & Co. Cardiff. Jones was born in Afonwen, Gwynedd, and was a shipowner in Porthmadog before moving to Cardiffin in 1865. By 1880 he owned three large barques, including the Glaslyn. The Glaslyn was lost by shipwreck on October 25, 1887. The company was discontinued in 1924.

Background Chinese Far Eglomise:
Chinese glass paintings were produced in and around Canton in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries for export to the West, where they enjoyed great popularity, especially in England. The necessary glass was often imported from the West, because it was usually sturdier than Chinese-made glass
