Decorative ornament - Taiwan - 1998 · Limited Edition

This contemporary glass artwork was created by LIULI Gongfang in 1998, a studio widely recognized among collectors of contemporary Asian art and art glass for its refined integration of Eastern philosophy and kiln-fired glass craftsmanship. The piece is centered on a mythical beast motif inspired by East Asian cultural symbolism. Its solid and well-balanced sculptural form is enhanced by flowing cloud patterns, conveying themes of protection, auspiciousness, and spiritual cohesion. Careful attention to proportion and composition gives the work a strong visual presence and a high level of artistic refinement. Crafted in kiln-fired glass, the artwork displays natural tonal transitions from olive green to tea-gold and warm amber hues. When illuminated, it reveals a soft translucency and layered depth characteristic of LIULI Gongfang’s mature and sophisticated glass artistry. The form also subtly references traditional East Asian seal culture, in which seals are symbolically associated with mythical beast imagery. This artwork is part of a strictly limited global edition of 1,200 pieces, and this example is No. 118. The dimensions are approximately 80 × 80 mm, height 75 mm, making it an ideal piece for display in a study, scholar’s setting, or a curated collection of contemporary East Asian art glass. This piece comes from a private collection.
