Crystal Treasure Vase, A Vase of Riches-White Yulan Luck
Collection: Dancing Blooms, Flying Fish, Spring Lights Converge Design Description: In springtime, the white yulan magnolia is China’s quintessential seasonal flower. In bloom, its scent is gently tantalizing; its blossoms classically beautiful. Often planted exclusively in imperial palaces, temples and residences of the affluent, the flower denotes luck and the power of affluence. In 2010, LIULI glass artists combined the studio’s signature pate-de-verre casting method with mouth-blowing techniques to create this collection of “bao ping” (or treasure vases). Symbolizing exuberant wealth, elegance and nobility, the yulan vase in particular shows the transformation of goldfish and flower. It flows in dream-like patterns, revealing a metamorphosis of beauty and grace. 金玉,是金魚的諧音,玉,即是珍寶,納財的意義。 造型上,運用了中國人喜歡的“雙",象徵和諧與平衡。 創作難點:金魚尾部上揚,雕塑時要注意尾巴的立體感,想像和觀察魚在水裡遊動時,尾巴漂動的形態。由於造型要求較高,尾部在拆模時易斷。 |
