LIULI Crystal Art : South Coast Plaza, Dragon Rising Vase - Year of Dragon

Founded in 1987 by renowned glass artists Loretta H. Yang and Chang Yi, LIULI has grown from a modest workshop in Taiwan to become Asia’s leading brand of crystal art. Liuli is a Chinese term from the Han Dynasty for glass art, and was chosen to honor the richness of Chinese heritage and culture. Records show that artisans of the Han Dynasty were highly skilled in lost-wax casting (pâte de verre) but the craft was subsequently lost and forgotten. Yang and Chang revived the craft and reintroduced it to the international arena.
The pioneering LIULI spirit has guided contemporary glass art to new heights. Each piece undergoes a comprehensive twelve-step process and requires six to eight months to complete. LIULI produces a limited number of pieces, so as to foster an environment where our artists are constantly engaged in the creation process and stay relevant to the society we care about.
 
Combining classic imagery of a dragon column in architecture with a coiled dragon, the design communicates a mighty rising energy. With a powerful head-on gaze, this dragon exudes confidence as it leaps into the air. The red liuli pearl accent symbolizes the rising Sun.
