Collection: Crystal & Hammer Art

📜 Origin & Evolution

Hammered Glass Painting, or dot engraving, is an intangible cultural heritage derived from the Hunan craft “Baoding Porcelain Engraving.” It transforms glass surfaces into portraits by hand‑hammering tens of thousands of tiny dots.

🔨 Craftsmanship & Features

This technique uses the hammer as a brush, creating depth and shading through point density. Crafted over several days, each piece carries the artisan’s unique touch and emotional resonance.

🏛️ Cultural Value & Heritage Significance

Hammered Glass Portraits embody traditional Chinese craftsmanship—converting photos into warm, tangible art filled with texture and narrative. Today, this heritage craft is being revitalized through exhibitions, cultural innovation, and e‑commerce.

Crystal — nature’s gift of clarity and light — has long been a global symbol of purity, excellence, and timelessness. In Chinese tradition, crystal is one of the “Seven Treasures,” representing a clear heart and spiritual refinement. Historically, it was used in Buddhist relics, royal tributes, and Feng Shui objects.

Modern crystal craftsmanship blends aesthetic brilliance with emotional expression. Whether as trophies, memorials, or decor, crystal objects carry not just elegance, but a deep sense of meaning and memory.
