The Collection: Flower Sculptures, A Peaceful Existence
Design Concept:
This crystal magnolia flower artwork is another beloved favorite of the Chinese. As if to announce the arrival of spring after a long winter, the Magnolia has traditionally bloomed on-queue at the first full moon of the year. It’s long been associated in Chinese culture as a symbol of love among families and friends. This design is inspired by the philosophy of “a full moon and beautiful flowers”. Sculpted with the characteristic roundness that symbolizes good harmony and fulfillment. The large polished surface represents the moon as it reflects the flowers. The magnolia is first colored with powdered pigments to create a realistic effect. Then it is fired again and fused with the vase. This is a token of families’ and friends’ appreciation for one another and of the harmony that connects us all. View the self through flowers, view the world through a vase. Through the elegance of the magnolia, we are shown the stillness in movement.
概念設計說明:
水晶琉璃玉蘭花,脫蠟鑄造技法手工製成,設計上,以「花好月圓」概念進行。大面積的圓體拋光,象徵一輪明月,映照花好的璀璨,玉蘭,先以粉料定色,令花的綻放栩栩生動,爾後再與瓶身進行二次燒製接駁,「花好月圓」是一種美好的生命期許,花開到最好,月滿到最圓,是最幸福美好的人生狀態。古人將玉蘭花看做是愛情、親情、友情的信物,“金蘭之交”就是友情的最高層次,結拜之時也稱義結金蘭。玉蘭花代表了純淨的愛情、溫馨的親情、堅貞的友情。玉蘭花,又名迎春花,綻放於春季,因此玉蘭象徵宣示美好的到來。以花觀己,以瓶觀世界,從作品玉蘭的高雅,看見靜美。
