Crystal Vessel, Chinese Ding, A Majestic Duo

Design Concept

Two mythical creature tigers face each other, guarding the central tripod, forming the shape of a treasure-filled basin. The cloud pattern below the artwork represents abundant blessings and arrives on clouds. Gui and ding (vessels) are the most common archaeological discoveries in bronze ware, followed by the appearance of pottery gui and jade gui. The casting methods, decorative patterns, and inscriptions on bronze ware are important representations of ancient Chinese civilization. From the unique expression in terms of form and production techniques, unprecedented efforts have been made in the study of patterns. In order to restore the perfect form of the bronze ware, a design element of double ears has been added.

兩隻螭虎兩兩對望，守護著中央的鼎，是一聚寶盆之造型。作品下方之如意雲紋，代表著滿滿福氣的祝福，乘雲而來。簋和鼎(器皿)，是青銅器中最常見的考古發現，而後也有陶器簋、玉簋的出現。青銅器的鑄造方法、雕飾花紋，篆刻銘文都是中國古代文明的重要表現。從造型到製作在技法上的獨特表現，前所未有，對紋飾的運用，花了大量的時間研究。為了還原青銅器的完美造型，加入了雙耳的設計部分。
