This absolutely beautiful handmade pair of Mandarin Ducks is made of liuli glass which boasts beautiful mixture of color.
This captivating multi-hued crystal glass is seeing a surge in popularity not only in Asia but also America and Europe. The procedure of creating Liuli glass is pretty similar to the age-old French glass casting technique known as "pate-de-verre". The process of creating Liuli glass is special and very difficult due to several factors with a failure rate of as high as 40%! That's why Chinese Liu Li art pieces always fetch a higher price. The instability of the molds (which is not reusable) and high firing temperatures required are the two most common reasons determining the success rate of producing a beautiful Liuli artwork. Each piece of Liuli glass is unique as the mixture of colors varies from one to the next.
In Feng Shui, the Mandarin Ducks are a long-known and wide-spread feng shui symbol of love and success of marriage, one that is filled with devotion, adoration, loyalty and everlasting romance.
The Mandarin Ducks are always portrayed in a pair; this is because of their real-life habits. These ducks are monogamous and mate for life, and when they lose their partners, they feel great grief and would pine away. They would never acquire new partner for the rest of their lives.
These graceful pair of Mandarin Ducks made of colorful crystal glass Liuli, when placed in the near vicinity of their owners, is said to provide a loving environment, enhancing romance and relationship quality, with no chance of divorce, infidelity or marital misfortune. If the owner is single, the Mandarin Duck is believed to enhance the chance of him or her finding their mate for life, creating marriage opportunities that will be everlasting. Besides adding that air of love in your bedroom, this pair will also add a touch of flair to your home decor.
Here are some Feng Shui tips on how to make the best use of this love charm:
1) For those who are married, placing the Mandarin Ducks beside your bed is said to help your relationship stays strong and enduring. Your devotion to each other will be unperturbed by external influences.
2) According to Feng Shui Bagua Aspiration formula, the Mandarin Ducks should be displayed in a pair in the Southwest sector (Romance Corner) of the living room, bedroom or office – this will increase luck in the areas of love, romance and marriage.
3) According to the Feng Shui Kua Theory by Lillian Too, placing these love charms in your Nien Yen (Romance) direction (in relation to your Kua Number) is believed to ensure a stable and solid marriage with many joyous years.
4) For those who are still single, placing this love charm beside your bed and in a manner that they are facing each other is said to help to summon a worthy and lasting partner.
5) Tying a strand of red string around the necks of the Mandarin Ducks is believed to create loyalty in your partner; this is because the act of tying the string symbolizes “tying the knot” of the relationship, keeping it together and safe. This prevents philandering husband or straying wife.
