The hulu shape conforms to the Taoist idea of an all-encompassing and joyous way of being and moving through the world. Zhuangzi wrote, “The spirit comes from the Tao”. A rounded robust form, liuli streams that flow upward in dark to light gradient. The embossed surface features peaches - a symbol of fertility and future generations, lychee - the symbol of a sweet life, and pomegranate - the symbol of togetherness. The hulu, like an intoxicating carafe of liuli wine, reflects the play between light and shadow. Shou, the character for longevity, is hand-carved and repeated across the hulu. Each shou “壽” symbolizes LIULI's reverence for humanistic philosophy. The "shou" “壽” symbol is uniquely Chinese and represents blessings and sincerity. Celebrations are often punctuated by a toast. Each sip elicits a rich and profound emotion.Unrestrained EuphonyPast, present and future,exist in this one momentas the accumulation of blood, sweat and tearsmellows into a fine wine.From simple to rich,watery to full-bodied,the best is saved for the lastin a final sip bothintoxicating and bittersweet.Item No.:PEE049.ADACZSize:5.3"L x 5.3"D x 8.5"H inchesMaterial:Crystal Glass
