The Circle of Life
The history of Liuli dates back more than 2100 years.  Archaeological discovery has uncovered that the ancient Chinese had mastered the wax casting technique as early as the Han Dynasty during 206-220BC.  The longest existing Chinese artefacts are in the form of Liuli, also known as the 'lost wax casting' (Pâte de verre).  Renowned explorer, Marco Polo, learnt of the magnificence of Liuli in his travels to China, and there began the first introduction of Liuli to Europe.

Wealth of Family
From the history of the Western Chow to the Ming dynasty, archaeologists in China have found each dynasty represented by Liuli artefacts, ranging in forms of jewellery and ornaments, to dinnerware.  The use of Liuli artwork was strictly a privilege of the imperial family and was reputed as the leader in the 4 most valued properties of gold, silver, jade and bronze.  These archaic royal items have inspired and provided a resource for our company to create the contemporary Liuli of today, reviving he 'lost wax casting' (Pâte de verre) technique.

Liuli combines the craft of artwork with the spirit of harmony, expression, patience, virtuoso and reflection.  Its powerful expressive ability is granted by its elegance and dazzling evanescence.  Originally foreign outside of Asia, Liuli is experiencing a great surge in popularity around Europe and North America.  Cycle P Liuli Classics Pty Ltd is the first to introduce this long standing traditional artwork to Australia.
