Topic: Further info sort - Taiwanese Glass Artist Wang Xiajun & Liu Yuan Glass Studio

[Greg.]

I have been trying to find out some further information on the Taiwanese glass artist Wang Xiajun who I gather is also referenced online as Wan Xiajun, due to anglicised variations.

The majority of information available online is in Chinese and the online translations are almost harder to decipher than the original Chinese text! I gather that Wang Xiahun was born in 1953 and has been influential in the development of Chinese art glass over recent years, with works in the corning museum of glass amongst others.

The piece in question is marked to the base as shown below, as I understand has the ‘Liu Yuan’ Glass Studio mark followed by ‘Wan Xiajun’ and then ‘2001.1 - 149/766 which I gather is possibly the year then followed by the number of pieces produced.

A large example weighing 4233 grams and measuring 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide.
Any further information would be greatly received.

Thanks,
Greg

Been looking into this further and turns out I've been searching under the phonetic rendering of the Chinese characters into English (ie the names in the title, both the artist and studio name)

It turns out that the English name of the company is actually Tittot and is signed by heinrich wang (Wang Xianjun) the founder of Tittot.

I'll send a few pictures to Tittot to see if they are able to provide any further information on this piece.
