When the traditional impression and image of the ceramics is pondering over its future development, "The Chinese Dolls Series" implies that the creator has clearly sensed the edge of time and his perspective. The creator introspects the paradoxical phenomenon of civilization led by a weal thy l i fe as wel l as i n the Oriental culture, the taboo of the differences between sexes still exists in the modern Chinese society. This auction piece,"The Chinese Dolls Series - Elegancy and Poise" using the peony and the precious stone ornament symbolizing an wealthy fortune, emphasizes that Chinese women have great virtue, wealth and good social position at the same time.
A more amazing thing is that the creator uses "throwing technique", a technique seeming simple yet requiring years of practice as well as the accumulation of experience to shape the material at will and accurately to present the difficult "base replacement technique". This work represents the self-demanding and the originality of the creator.
