The world is connected in a myriad of intricate ways by the formless dao - a way of existing in the world…like an emotion or a conscious perception. Fish come from oceans, rivers, and ponds to meet upon this hulu gourd. In pursuit of the heart’s dao, people come together and relationships are formed. In China, this is called yuan, a word akin to fate or destiny. Here two fish meet and look toward the same future, in harmony with each other and the times. From the front, the fish appear in delicate relief. From the back, the high-polish and engraved surface implies the presence of deep waters. Front and back together cleverly the internal and external qualities of existence and non-existence.

Rendered in liuli crystal, leaves and fish become stars of the show, complementing each other. Lotus leaves symbolize harmony, goldfish means abundance and good luck, this design creates an elegant movement of pure beauty in life. Two fish are presented in negative carving, but the polished surface on lotus leaves is used to show their movement and expression in the water. The process of sculpting is particularly complicated. The sculpture of the fish and the positioning need to be done prior to the prototype, then join two fish sculptures on the prototype with reiteration on the details of the junction being smooth and organic.

The Beauty of Harmony is small in size, but its diminutive form holds unbounded wisdom. This crystal paperweight continues a LIULI tradition of combining the Taiji symbol (yin-yang symbol) with the head of a dragon. Here, the dragon's body is drawn into a circle to represent the cycle of yin and yang, harmony, peace, and wisdom. Its head is intricately detailed with a tendril motif. The design echoes that of China's "first dragon," a jade artifact from the kingdom of Hongshan. The glimmering amber and subtle coloration yield a powerful, enigmatic effect as only liuli can.

This piece is absolutely beautiful. The recipient (my sister) loved it. She held it up to the sun and the colors shone through magnificently. The work on this piece is flawless and the box that housed this paper weight was gorgeous as well. Delivery was quick and on time. Thank you.. Darlene. Coldstream, BC. Mon Jun 07 2021

This art deco piece from the studios of LIULI Crystal Art comes from a collection of four mythical creatures — each correlating to a compass direction. With a deep background in Chinese cultural symbolism, the bird seen here in “Guardian of the South – Splendor of the Vermillion Bird” also called ‘Zhuniao’, refers to the phoenix. It is said to have the ability to be reborn from the fire, just like the immortal bird in western mythology, so it is also named fire phoenix. In Chinese legend, Zhuque is said to have a chicken’s head, swallow’s chin, snake’s neck, fish’s tail, and five-color feather. In ancient China, there are four mythical creatures with godly power which protect us from all devils and evil spirits. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise; Azure Dragon is the guardian of the East, White Tiger is the guardian of the West, Vermillion Bird is the guardian of the South, Tortoise is the guardian of the North.

Gold Red Clear

The distinctly Chinese ruyi motif is expressed here in the most natural of all settings—among timeless and swirling cloud patterns. Like the whimsical clouds that come and go, floating and fluttering as they please, so shall those who walk with the ruyi blessing. Or perhaps it is more appropriate to say that those blessed with ruyi soar, lifted above the clouds with a chest full of confidence and a heart full of determination. This is the spirit of the Chinese ruyi symbol: that one may be inspired to achieve anything they wish, because the sky is the limit.

Rich green LIULI forms encircling vines and full clusters of ripe grapes carved in high relief so that fingertips can trace the texture as the glass turns. The subtly inward curved rim concentrates the wine’s bouquet while the relief pattern reminds the drinker that blessings string together like thriving generations. While the amber loquat embodies continuous blessings by tracing the fruit’s journey through all four seasons budding in autumn flowering in winter fruiting in spring and ripening in summer. Rendered in warm golden LIULI each branch curves around the glass dotted with droplets of crystal light that appear to suspend like morning dew. Embossed loquats and leaves encircle the vessel so that each plump fruit can be admired by touch and every glance becomes a reminder of abundance flowing in unbroken succession. The base of the glass features a pumpkin-shaped stem, symbolizing quiet strength and transformation. Its many facets catch and reflect light, adding visual warmth while evoking the slow ripening of a pumpkin—a metaphor for the beauty that comes with time and patience. Rooted in nature, this design grounds the glass with a sense of balance and seasonal abundance, aligning with the theme of savoring life’s moments mindfully.

White Tiger represents the element gold, the western direction, and autumn. This mythical creature also functions as a virtuous god of war who supports the righteous and punishes the wicked, and who bestows a variety of blessings, including safety, wealth, and conjugal bliss. In this piece, White Tiger is portrayed as a combination of the imposing strength of a real tiger and the majesty of a deity. The element wind traditionally associated with the tiger - extremely difficult to express in sculpture - is represented by the streamers briskly fluttering behind. White Tiger is depicted on top of the world, poised for a leap, roaring into the distance, ready to overcome any and all challenges. Associated with the four quadrants of the vault of heaven is the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North; in the center is the Qilin (unicorn). Each region corresponds to one of the five elements: metal (west), wood (east), water (north), fire (south), and earth (center).

In Chinese culture, elephants are stable, dependable and symbolize auspiciousness. An elephant carrying a vase was a popular decoration subject because of its auspicious meaning. The words for “vase” and “elephant” are homonymic with “peace” and “signs,” thus coinciding with a Chinese proverb: “When there is peace, there are signs” (Tai ping you Xiang). Four directions and four elephants symbolize a gathering from all four corners. Together they rise in peace, auspiciousness, and the return of accomplishment. For friends, this is a blessing for synergy. For professionals, this is a blessing for rising success. For family, this is a blessing for the home. Following the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the symbol of the elephant and vase was mainly used by the imperial family.

Flower, bird, and Taihu stone come together in a pinnacle of harmonious beauty. From up close, we see life; from far away, we see heaven and earth. These three elements each have their own time to shine. The Taihu stone’s beauty comes from the incessant battering of waves across its lifetime; the red flowers are reborn every season; the bird passes life through the generations and symbolizes the inextinguishable of life. From different angles, the water weathered stone reveals a tranquil interior. From the front, a facade to withstand the elements; from the back, a scintillating display. “A communal form” is an extension of Zhuang Zi’s saying that “all things and I are one”. The jailing bird in the sculpture is inspired by the famous song painting “red knotweed and aquatic bird”. Entering the song dynasty where the idea that “all matter is connected as one” was further emphasized and observed through different angles, distances, and times of the day.

The circular polished center is the focal point of the design. It is like the surface of a clear pool, and also like a magnifying glass that shows two fish’s movements. It seems two fish are swimming together leisurely, and enjoying their respective joy at the same time. From the front view, it’s when you dive into the water and watch fish swim and see everything clearly from the seafloor- the Taihu rock stands up tall, fish swims in between; on the other hand, the polished surface recreates an experience of viewing from atop of the water. These two perspectives were combined into one design, making the artwork more interesting to view. In a nutshell, when appreciating things from different perspectives, we may be able to release ourselves from boundaries or physical limits and reach intellectual freedom. Joyful harmony a majestic mountain, a limpid pool, the heart is limitless. Like a shadow to the form, the sun and moon mirror each other in joyful harmony.

The pine unfurls like a fan, like a fishtail swaying in the water. Emerging from entwined branches, carp and pine exist in beautiful harmony. The design draws from traditional auspicious elements. The pine symbolizes longevity, fish symbolizes prosperity. The artwork presents a visual contrast among the dynamic energy between the fish and profound tranquil pine trees. We join philosophy with auspicious symbols to offer a new form of blessing. Zhuang Zi’s The Butterfly Dream is a philosophical classic that presents a state of neither here nor there, both real and illusory, and is the inspiration behind this design. Has the fish become the pine or has the pine become the fish? Another interesting way to view this piece, is whether the bottom part of the design is a tree trunk in the mountain range or a Taihu rock under the lake? Only the viewer would know and take his or her imagination to fly. Evergreen ProsperityThe stalwart pine need not count the days. Joyous fish need did not yield to distraction. Standing against the blue skyupright and calm, serenity begets longevity, strength begets splendor.

In traditional Chinese culture, the spring orchid symbolizes nobility, elegance, and a conflict-free society; it is the ethical ideal of traditional Chinese culture that Confucius often referred to. The orchid is the gentleman of flowers. The raised flowers in the design represent the first sign of a flourishing spring. A gust of spring wind, a fragrant harbinger, joyful news, and the wide-open and explicit conviction of the orchid. The joined flower and leaf in the design come together to form a seamless circle. Although the technical difficulties are great, it ensures the fluidity of the final presentation and a harmonious union, capturing the moment of a perfect spring breeze. The Orchid, in Chinese culture, is the artistic paradigm of the spring season. The flower ushers in spring with a gentle fragrance, welcoming it with both grace and virtue. This crystal sculpture encompasses both abstract and naturalistic elements to invoke the living orchid. While it has a polished base, resembling a stalk, the glass flower itself uses powdered crystal for a vibrant contrast. The two pieces are crafted separately, fired in the kiln at different temperatures, before being expertly joined together in the same kiln. Conceived with such masterful technique, the resulting glass art captures the orchid’s noble elegance, coming to life in a spring dance to painting the season in vivid color.

Cave-dwelling Guanyin, one of the thirty-three manifestations of the bodhisattva Guanyin (Avalokitesvara), looks over and protects all sentient beings. In India, the rock represents the origin of the universe and all the life it contains. Guanyin is seated on a rough crag, representing the hardship and challenges met on the long path to awakening; the lotus in her right hand represents the freedom from all defilement which is the defining feature of one who has completed the journey to enlightenment. Her benign and serene countenance, downward-gazing eyes, and concise halo convey her bright and effulgent heart and mind. The rough-hewn texture of the upper part of the base is based on the Gongbi realist technique in Chinese painting, in juxtaposition with the polished lower section. Seemingly meditating in the moonlight, this stout-figured Guanyin wears a crown of flowers and a jeweled necklace and has a pious countenance suggesting solemnity and tranquility. In the East, the lotus is the traditional symbol of perfect purity and supreme enlightenment.

Ascent of the visionary can be looked at as two halves. The upper half features a tiger ascending a mountain to overlook the animals and life below it, overflowing with light.

In the lower half, Liuli designers joined elements of mountain and water in an innovative expression. Bring this sculpture into the home or office to add an element of carefree joy. This design expresses itself in both realism and classicism and makes an ideal gift for international friends. It is also a fitting gift for someone who has received a promotion, mentors, or elders.

Like fire, the amber tiger conveys passion, and diligence, and is ideally placed in a common workspace. This sculpture in the style of contemporary realism, with its ornate sculptural details, captures the ephemerality of existence and solidifies it in Liuli. The free-flowing liuli streams move like traces of time, prolonged yet transient, volatile yet tranquil. May the new year bring a new outlook on our place in nature and time.

The subjects in mighty fortune communicate compassion and tenderness here that elevate the meaning of wealth in a way that pure ornamentation alone could not.

A bird that calls for happiness. In Japan, owls are seen as birds that call for happiness because in the Japanese pronunciation of owl, Fukurou, means, “let's be happy” hence a bird of good fortune.

The scops owl is seen here alighted on a branch, their plumage glowing softly against what seems to be a starry night and the vague shape of a moon. The piece is purposefully subtle and gives the impression of a whisper, a reminder to live mindfully and see the beauty around you.
