Haiyan Heqing Handcrafted Relief Glass Cup – National Museum of China

This handcrafted glass cup reimagines the Qing Dynasty "Haiyan Heqing Zun," a porcelain treasure crafted by Jingdezhen’s imperial kilns for the Old Summer Palace. Its*sky-blue glaze*echoes the artifact’s symbolism of peace ("河清海晏"), while golden motifs—intertwined florals, swallows, and lotus petals—mirror the original’s auspicious decor. The design embodies traditional Chinese ideals of harmony and prosperity, translating imperial porcelain artistry into delicate glass craftsmanship.
