The cup and saucer fit perfectly, with round and burr-free edges, offering a comfortable grip. Balancing beauty and durability, it fully reflects the European vintage light luxury texture.
What is Gold Tracing?
In essence, Gold Tracing is the art of adorning a finished object with motifs painted entirely by hand, using genuine gold (typically 24 K gold powder suspended in media like tung oil) as the pigment. This technique demands the artisan's complete focus and mastery, where hand and heart move in unison to create radiant patterns with the most delicate brushstrokes. Each line of gold carries the warmth of the human hand and a legacy of craftsmanship, instantly transforming the piece with an aura of luxury and artistic vitality. It is not merely a technique passed down through generations, but a sublime elevation of beauty.
Wheat
⭐Abundance ⭐Sacred blessings ⭐Harvest
Wheat , as an agricultural symbol spanning human civilization, are the crystallization of nature's gifts and human wisdom. They symbolize abundance, harvest, and sacred blessings—in Greek mythology, wheat ears were a gift from Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, representing the nourishment of the earth and the cycle of life; during the Roman Empire, crowns woven with wheat ears were a symbol of glory for victors, embodying the fruits of hard work. In Eastern context, the homophonic meaning of "yearly bumper harvest" and the agricultural philosophy of "food is the paramount necessity of the people" are deeply bound, making wheat a cultural totem carrying peace, prosperity, and hope. The cross-cultural resonance across the East and West has elevated wheat ears beyond crops themselves, becoming an eternal aesthetic symbol connecting nature, history, and humanity.
Yellow Daisy
⭐Hope ⭐Secret Admiration ⭐Purity
Yellow daisies are a classic symbol of sunshine, hope and purity. Their bright, lively petals have a healing atmosphere. Unlike the intensity of roses, they convey warm strength with a fresh posture. They signify "little joys hidden in daily life", representing love for ordinary life and conveying encouragement and care. Gifting them to friends is a signal of warm companionship, and decorating spaces with them can inject relaxed vitality. Whether expressing gratitude, conveying blessings, or commemorating simple happy moments, yellow daisies can carry emotions with delicate texture, becoming a concrete expression of healing and positivity in life.
