琉璃工房
LIULI GONG FANG (U.S.A.), INC.

At LIULI Crystal Art, we dedicate ourselves to an age-old method of glass art. That method is most commonly known as pâte de verre. However, since over two-thousand years ago it has been known to the Chinese as “liuli.” Our founding artists rediscovered the origins of this ancient craft and revived it in the Chinese cultural sphere.

At our studio, we create works using 24% PbO lead crystal, effectively mastering artistic expression through the mastery of one very special medium—glass. Techniques range from the classic pâte de verre method to others involving the use of powdered glass and gold foil. A labor-intensive 12-step process goes into the creation of each art piece—a precision that is credited to the commitment involved in the craftsmanship.

Mastering crystal glass has not only been a technical challenge but also a spiritual one. Through the expression of such a transcendent medium, our artists are able to produce feelings and nuances that are as transparent as the physical work itself. Emerging from that transparency and honesty is the manifestation of Eastern culture and philosophies.
