Introduction of Colored Glaze

Colored glaze or "Liu-li" in Chinese is a type of multi-hued crystal glass which application dates back to China`s Tang Dynasty (618 to 907) more than a thousand of years ago. Liu-li art wares were restricted to royalties back then, and were believed to bring good luck, fortune and health.
During the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese nation prospered and its architecture flourished. A form of glazed pottery known as the "Tang tri-colored glazed pottery" had already earned great fame in the region. A potter succeeded in experimenting with the pottery by adding an ancient eaves tile material used in construction and this produced the signature translucency that is associated with the world-famous Liu-li today. The term "Liu-li" was first found in the Buddhist Sutra. In the religious scripture, the "Light of Liu-li" signifies the elimination of greed and desire, illumination of the spirit of Buddhism and the spreading of the glory of Buddha far and wide.
The material used in Liu-li is actually adopted from the raw material used to produce precious crystal glass in the West. Crystal glass is made from a combination of glass and lead dioxide. While the proportion for mixing glass and lead dioxide varies from country to country, generally speaking, when the percentage of lead dioxide reaches 24% and above, the translucency and refractive quality of the glass reaches an excellent level. At the same time, the crystal glass is also heavier, softer and in prime condition for crafting into fine works of art. Liu-li is comparable to European and American crystal glass products well-known for their high quality and is thus superior in price and quality to ordinary glass products.
