Ding of Dance Chinese Vessel, "Mild & Firm Virtue"

Design Concept:

The highest virtue is to be gentle and strong, achieving the most celebrated actions through sturdiness and softness. This concept is elegantly expressed in the visually evocative piece "The Nine Ding of Profound Virtue," which depicts the many forms of the water element, from crashing waves to still waters. The artwork reflects the philosophy of balancing mildness and firmness, softness and hardness, to create harmony between contrasting dispositions. The Chinese glasswork serves as a reminder to find flexibility and rigidity in the balance of life, reflecting its passionate nature.
