A "Hualiao horse" of liaoqi (glassware). Glassware is a special kind of art form developed from the traditional liuli manufacturing technique. The glass is fired in a blowlamp and depends on the experience and workmanship of the craftsman, which won it the name of "sculpture in the fire". The work in the picture reflects the artful design and refined and adept techniques of the craftsman, and the imitation of Tang tri-coloured glaze used fully presents the glory, colour and mystery of the glass.   Close
