Individual ID: #[T026] — Only one in existence.
❖ ARTWORK DESCRIPTION
This artistic treasure features a vibrant orange-red palette as its primary tone, meticulously crafted using the traditional Xipi Daqi lacquer technique over 9-12 weeks of pure handwork. The brilliant orange-red natural lacquer blazes like flame—passionate and brimming with vitality; golden speckles sparkle like flying embers, illuminating the entire lacquer surface with a dazzling visual brilliance. The Xipi technique involves repeated layering and polishing of lacquer to create naturally undulating textures on the surface. This piece features a smooth, lustrous finish where orange-red and gold shimmer in harmony, creating distinct layers. Every detail radiates passion and life force, a perfect crystallization of time and craftsmanship.
Color Symbolism: Orange-red symbolizes passion, vitality, and prosperity, representing thriving success and good fortune in Chinese culture. Golden accents enhance the sense of wealth and nobility, presenting an overall image of fervent energy and flourishing abundance, signifying prosperous business and flowing fortune.
❖ Botanical Perfection
Beneath the vibrant palette lies a 100% botanical heart. The interior is hand-sealed with food-safe Raw Urushi, a legendary lacquer tree sap that is naturally antibacterial, heat-resistant, and becomes more durable over centuries of use.
