Silver Vessels

Wine Container
Silversmith: Zhao Wei
Material: Silver; sandalwood; Ore

I like her this work, because she used different material, and particular idea as well. She use the different poly and method to expression normal wine container, made it looks more contemporary and unique style.

Bowl
Silversmith: Tang Xuxiang
Material: Silver
I like his works, because he used Chinese traditional pattern. This bowl's shape is very simple, but the pattern made it looks more elegant.

GongFu Tea Cups



The first impression for Chinese GongFu tea cups is tiny and exquisite. Normally, Chinese people using purple sand(zi sha) or Porcelin to made it. Cause GongFu Tea is a kind of tea ceremony, Chinese people prefer put some beautiful pattern or Chinese calligraphy at Cups outside surface, so the drinking is more like a kind of art.
