This item is made from colorful crystal or "liu li" using the pate de verre technique, an ancient method of casting art glass predominantly used during the Art Nouveau Period. Colorful Crystal is a wonderful material making a wave in Feng Shui world lately because of its exquisiteness, fine quality, distinctive luster and captivating color blend. Every piece made of genuine colorful crystal is unique because it is hand-crafted and hence the color mixture will never be identical. The whole process of producing a colorful crystal piece which involves creating the mold, filling, burning, cooling and polishing is very delicate and tedious and may take up to a week to complete. Furthermore, the mold used to cast it can be utilised only once before it is disposed, which explains the relatively much higher price compared with other materials. Nevertheless, the great appeal, class, beauty and artistry of colorful crystals make it all worth paying for. Perfect for the discerning Feng Shui practitioners.
