Individual ID: #[T030] — Only one in existence.
❖ ARTWORK DESCRIPTION
This artistic masterpiece features a profound blue palette, meticulously crafted using the traditional Xipi Daqi lacquer technique over 9-12 weeks of dedicated handwork. The deep blue natural lacquer evokes the mystery of the ocean depths—serene and elegant; golden speckles shimmer like underwater treasures, scattered throughout, creating a profound and noble visual effect.
The Xipi technique involves repeated layering and polishing of lacquer to create naturally undulating textures, reminiscent of ocean waves. Blue and gold interweave—nobility within depth, strength within tranquility. Every detail is as precious as deep-sea treasure, a perfect crystallization of time and craftsmanship.
Color Symbolism: Blue symbolizes wisdom, depth, and tranquility, representing boundless capacity and lofty aspirations in Eastern culture. Golden accents resemble oceanic treasures, symbolizing wealth and nobility, presenting an overall aesthetic of deep-sea mystery, signifying profound depth and a brilliant future.
❖ 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.
