Usher in the Year of the Dragon

0 Comments

Know someone born in the year of the dragon? Here is some interesting information about them:

Occupying the 5th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon is the mightiest of the signs. Dragons symbolize such character traits as dominance and ambition. Dragons are driven, unafraid of challenges, and willing to take risks. Others are attracted to Dragons, especially their colorful personalities, but deep down, Dragons prefer to be alone. Perhaps that is because they’re most successful when working alone.

Give this person something special this year. A lacquered box or coaster set with the dragon motif exclusively designed for 2012.

The Ji Xiang Culture

0 Comments

Jixiang or auspiciousness is not a unique idea in the Chinese culture, but the long history and variety of Chinese culture provides jixiang with rich content and forms. “Ji means good deeds; xiang is an indication of happiness.”

The crafts and functions associated with auspicious images are very rich. There are sculptures, paintings, embroideries, prints and dyeing, knitting, metal craft, lacquerware, porcelain, New Year’s paintings, and paper cuttings, along with architectural renderings, garments, containers, decorations, ritual objects, toys.

Qua has depicted Fu, Lu, Shou and Xi themes on the lacquerware representing prosperity (Fu), wealth (lu), longevity (Shou) and Xi (happiness). Though at different historic periods, different themes may dominate, these ones are always close to the common people and were spread widely and consistently in folk customs.

An Artist to Remember

0 Comments

Aw Tee Hong is a man to remember. The inspiring achievements he has made in his life to the philosophy on the work he does, it speaks to us as a role model. Personally I have not met him, but reading his biography, it feels like I’ve known the man for a while. Then it hit me, maybe we all do know him. We see his sculptures and paintings at various MRT stations, schools, government buildings and commercial complexes around where we grew up. As they say, the work of an artist is the expression of their character, beliefs and ideology.

Therefore, I am proud to introduce our first installment of the Singapore Artist Showcase, four astounding paintings of Mr Aw’s work on our product range.

Chinese New Year – Year of The Rabbit

0 Comments

People born in the years 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011 are rabbits in the chinese calendar. Do you know anyone born in these years, and have the following characteristics?

The rabbit is one of the most delicate animals among all 12 animals. Rabbits are usually kind and sweet and of course, popular people. Nobody ignores them, for they are good company and know how to make the best of themselves.

A rabbit’s home is always a beautiful one cause Rabbit people are famous for their artistic sense and good taste. They are also usually well-dressed.

But even though they are popular and loved by their friends and family, rabbit people are also pessimistic. They are conservative and insecure, and that explains why most of them don’t like changes. Calm as they are, it is not easy to provoke Rabbit people. They don’t like to argue and enjoy quiet, peaceful lives. They are also sentimental and compassionate.

Give that rabbit friend something to remember this chinese new year. A round trinket box or coaster set inlaid with mother of pearl the chinese word “rabbit”.
