中國結杯
Chinese Knot Cup / Craft Design
將大紅的祝福環絡上杯,一飲入心。
絡子杯,融合結藝與漆藝,以線材編織而成的中國結為胎,在線結上髹上天然漆,不但保留了棉繩優美腺體肌理,同時也達到固化防水的效果。
中國結,古稱絡子,在中國傳統的編結藝術中,所有基本結法皆依其形意命名,包含吉祥、祝福之象徵意義。此創作讓中國結的造型環繞於杯身,紅色的線結除了代表送禮者為收禮者獻上祥福的心意,也具備實用面的巧思,讓使用者在浸泡茶包時,可以纏繞棉線以防止標籤滑落。
A huge red blessing is woven into the cup, bringing a cupful of happiness.
The Chinese Knot Cup combines the art of Chinese knotting and lacquer. The mug is ornamented with a Chinese knot, which is painted with natural lacquer. The skill not only retains the beautiful texture of the cotton thread but also applies a waterproof effect.
In the traditional handicraft of Chinese knotting, all the basic knotting methods were named according to their forms and meanings, containing symbolic meanings of good fortune and blessing. In this work, the red knot which circles around the mug represents a gift of good fortune. Furthermore, it also features a practical aspect. When users make tea, they can wrap the cotton thread around the knot to prevent the label from slipping off.
