🔥 What is Liuli (Colored Glaze)?
**Liuli** is an ancient Chinese term for crystal glass art. It is known as *Pâte de Verre* in the West.
It is not just glass; it is a spiritual material fired at 1400°C. The color flows naturally during the firing process, meaning **no two pieces are identical**. In Buddhism, it represents the clarity of the spirit and is the realm of the **Medicine Buddha**.
