"The crystal curtain is outside the juanjuan moon, and the pear blossom branches are covered with snow on the upper layers."
The snow of a thousand years ago fell in the poet's yard, and the moonlight was bright and sprinkled like pearls, falling on the flowers and branches into snow, falling into the cup and becoming poetry.
For the elegant ancients, a good crystal cup is a gift that cannot be sought.
The color is as white as a spring, clear and bright. Yu Cha is "blind out of the grinding fine beads falling, dizzy around the Ou flying snow lightly".
The tea soup is as clear as amber, full of joy, the tea color flows, like looking at the moon in the snow, and it is impossible to tell whether it is tea light or moonlight.
Yu wine is "grape wine luminous glass". The night is seductive, the wine is shining, the fingertips are entangled, like looking at the flowers in the fog, the wine is not intoxicating, and the people are drunk first.
The crystal cup brought to you today comes from the Chinese aesthetic artifact brand - [Lu Yuan].
In the case of no stray cracks and other losses, each crystal cup uses a whole piece of smelting crystal to produce a cup mold.
Crystal is a rare mineral that crystallizes underground under 10,000 years of high temperature and pressure. The texture of ying as water and as strong as jade, known as water jade and water essence by the ancients, also has the reputation of "thousand years of ice". The earliest dates back to 600,000 years ago. Sealed in the underground for thousands of years, or even ten thousand years, it is still untainted, bright as ever, and as high as new.
Crystal is also a Buddhist holy relic, "one of the Seven Treasures", is an important energy stone, nourishing the body, opening up luck and wealth, Li Ka-shing's desk has been placed on the crystal for many years.
Supervised by the national crystal carving master, after more than ten years of senior craftsmen, repeatedly polished in many different processes, and constantly adjusted the texture details.
On average, it takes 3-4 days to get a cup with beautiful shape, and the yield rate is very low. Each one is an orphan. (With favorite certificate encoding)
The cup strives to retain the velvety snow flake inclusion inside the crystal ore, as if it were a beautiful falling snow, instantly condensed in the crystal.
The snow has not fallen, as if you can hear the sound of snow falling, and you can always enjoy the beautiful scenery of falling snow, which is indeed a blessing for the "Crystal Listening Snow Cup".
In recent years, with the deepening of development, the stock of natural crystal has become less and less, coupled with the news of mine sealing in many mines, the price of natural crystal has risen sharply, and crystal utensils have gradually become a collectible.
And the crystal texture is hard and brittle, the production process is very exquisite, very testing the craftsmanship of the cupmaker, a slight mistake, the entire cup will be destroyed.
And this crystal listening snow cup, texture, color, quality, all meet the industry's superior crystal standards, has a high collection value.
Far from the inferior crystals that are difficult to distinguish in the market, it is personally supervised by two teachers, Zhang Yucheng and Zhang Licheng, the national crystal carving masters, which can be described as a rare work of art.
Zhang Yucheng is a national crystal carving master and the founder of Luyuan Fine Carving Art Studio.
Since the age of 15, he studied with Zhang Shizeng and Lian Jizeng, veteran craftsmen of Beijing Jade Factory, embarked on the road of engaging in jade carving, and has been specializing in crystal Buddha carving for 30 years.
The works are vivid in shape, smooth in line, exquisite in craftsmanship, and beautiful in the law, and are loved and collected by the collecting community and people from all walks of life.
Part of Zhang Yucheng's works
At the 2012 Chinese Contemporary Arts and Crafts Biennale, Zhang Yucheng and Zhang Licheng's natural crystal carving "Thousand Hands Guanyin" was exhibited at the National Museum, and also appeared in the "I Have Heirloom Column" and won the gold medal of the "Hundred Flowers Award" of Chinese jade ware.
Teacher Zhang Yucheng's partial award certificate
In 2013, CCTV treasure hunting column into the East China Sea treasure hunt, Zhang Yucheng, Zhang Licheng's crystal work "Jizo King Bodhisattva" after careful review by the palace museum experts, stood out in more than 7,000 selected works, and won the "zui with historical and cultural value award", was rated as "folk treasure". Master Zhang Yucheng is known in the industry as the Young Master.
Zhang Yucheng said: "All along, the so-called crystal cups on the market are made of glass, and in the name of crystal, consumers have spent more money unjustly, which has not enjoyed the quality of crystal and destroyed the reputation of crystal." ”
But in fact, crystal is a rare/scarce mineral resource, it is not/renewable and is very valuable.
Due to the large loss and labor-intensive materials, the price of such a size crystal cup on the general market is not less than a thousand yuan.
Each of these snow cups is personally supervised by Master Zhang Yucheng and has its own collection certificate code, which is worth collecting and tasting.
Each comes in exquisite gift boxes and can be purchased individually or in groups of 2 or 4. Whether it is a self-preservation tasting, gifts can be given.
The use of tools when alone is exquisite is another kind of "cautious independence".
"Dream of the Red Chamber" Miaoyu tea must use "snow water that has been stored for five years on the plum blossoms", in order to ensure the quality and collection value of the crystal cup.
Raw materials are made from the East China Sea, which is known as the "Crystal Capital of China", and the crystals produced there are high silicon content, few impurities, and the quality is also in the forefront of the country.
(Crystal Raw Ore)
Good quality natural crystal, high price, and not resistant to high temperatures, natural crystal to make tea utensils, often more limited.
Smelted crystal is made of natural crystal ore as a raw material, and its main component is the same as natural crystal, which is silica. Obtained after high temperature treatment of natural crystals under specific conditions.
Not only does it maintain the excellent characteristics of natural crystal (good permeability, can soften water quality), but also the shortcomings of natural crystal's inability to withstand high temperatures have been qualitatively improved.
It cannot be burned even at high temperatures, making the crystal material more artistically malleable.
Through the light, each cup has a looming cotton flocculent.
These velvets are a special and beautiful feature of natural crystal ore, and they are also preserved after melting at high temperatures.
Like clouds like fog, like mountains and rivers and clouds, quite meaningful. The cotton wool texture of each cup is du-like.
The surface of the cup is an irregular cut surface that has been carved and polished by hand, and it also has a frosted texture when touched. Transparent without perspective, the lines are soft to the point.
Holding the crystal cup in your hand, it is a traditional porcelain tea wine vessel, completely incomparable to the falling feel, immortal in Greenland iceberg-like texture, so that the tea soup in it, will not be as straightforward as glassware.
The tea soup refracts a soft and circuitous light under the light, as if it has the appearance of "hiding snow in the ice and accommodating the clouds and rivers".
It not only satisfies the needs of the tea set in the elegant tea party, it is used for drinking, and it also has a different flavor.
It can be played more heirloom, and the collection value-added space is large
The craft of making a fine crystal cup comes at the cost of making thousands of bad crystal cups.
The apprentice's crystal cup works, or the mouth of the cup is too large, or the waist is too thick, or the lines are mechanical, or the details are rough.
Note: Experienced glass craftsmen, polished crystal cups, warm feel, dignified shape
The cup making process is an obscure and inconspicuous work, and the number of high-level cup-making craftsmen in China is very small.
This crystal listening snow cup, are all created by more than 15 years of senior crystal cup craftsmen, ingenuity.
From a piece of crystal ore to the form in hand, the whole process must undergo more than 100 hours of hand grinding.
Abandon people's established stereotypes of crystals, from design, to cutting, polishing, more is supported by the individual aesthetic qualities of craftsmen, so that the cup body has its own personality and temperament.
A most commonly used utensil in life should also be carefully made to make its most beautiful appearance.
Limited edition sale, self-retention and gift-giver are suitable for both
With the shape of polishing out of the irregular oblique cut base surface, the creation of natural, elegant and clumsy.
The overall shape is simple and simple, with a touch of simple and comfortable, back to basics.
Even standing quietly at the table can enhance the elegance of the whole table.
The height of the cup, the small mouth of the cup, the condensation of the gas, the natural texture of the cup along the treatment is just right, and it is very smooth to drink.
The thick cup body and the bottom of the cup are easy to grasp and pillow, and it is not easy to slip off. It not only brings a beautiful tea drinking experience, but also takes into account mechanics and aesthetics.
Each cup will be packaged in a delicate gift box, which is elegant and elegant.
Whether it is a gift to a friend or self-appreciation, it has a high collection value.
Note: Natural crystal has multiple rich inclusions, and cotton wool, ice marks, and small miscellaneous spots are all characteristics of natural ore and are normal phenomena.
