LIULI crystal art

Description

The design of this piece is based on ancient Chinese “Ding.”  This cauldron-like vessel often displayed as a mantelpiece with which to honor ancestors and the heavens, comes in many forms—each indicative of an era, ruler, or zeitgeist. The “ding” has been used to carry riches and wealth, containing the things that we hold dearest to our hearts. However, the “ding” is often used as a decorative statement, containing what seems to be nothing inside. On such occasions, we find that what is contained within the artifact is the intangible- the spiritual.  As such, “ding” are most often associated with being the most sacred of family heirlooms.
