The Glassmaker’s Journey: A Tale of Passion and Fusion

In the porcelain-rich city of Jingdezhen, China, Liang, a young glassmaker, had always been captivated by the delicate beauty of glass— He yearned to create something that would not only honor his Chinese heritage but also push the boundaries of what glass could be. 

One day Liang stumbled upon the story of Venetian glassblowing—a centuries-old tradition from Murano, Italy, renowned for its elegance and precision. Intrigued, he decided to embark on a journey to Italy to learn the secrets of this art form. With his family’s blessing and a heart full of determination, Liang set off for Murano, the island of glass.

There, he became an apprentice under third-generation glassblower Master Giovanni. Learning and  mastering the art of shaping molten glass into exquisite wine glasses. Yet, as his skills grew, so did his longing to bring this artistry back to his homeland. He decided to return to China and establish his own glassblowing studio, creating wine glasses that would honor both his Italian training and his Chinese roots.

The name 品 (Pǐn) was born from a moment of quiet reflection in Liang’s studio. a Chinese character rich with meaning. It means to savor, to appreciate, and to judge quality, but it is also composed of three mouths (口), symbolizing thesharing of wine, stories, and moments among friends and family.

Each glass is designed not just to hold wine, but to enhance the experience of savoring it—to elevate the act of drinking into a moment of connection and appreciation. The three mouths reminded him of the Italian tradition of toasting with loved ones, the Chinese custom of sharing tea, and the universal joy of coming together over a shared meal.

品 (Pǐn) is more than a name; it is an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to savor the richness of life, and to celebrate the beauty of craftsmanship and culture. With every sip from a 品 glass, you are not just tasting wine—you are tasting a story, a journey, and a legacy of artistry that bridges East and West.

Because the finest moments in life are meant to be savored.

玻璃匠人的旅程：激情与融合的故事

在中国瓷都景德镇，有一位年轻的玻璃匠人——亮。他始终被玻璃的精致之美所吸引，渴望创造出既能致敬中国传统，又能突破玻璃艺术界限的作品。

一天，亮偶然听说了威尼斯玻璃吹制工艺的故事——这是一种源自意大利穆拉诺的古老技艺，以其优雅和精密闻名于世。怀着好奇与决心，亮决定启程前往意大利，学习这门艺术的奥秘。在家人的祝福下，他踏上了前往“玻璃之岛”穆拉诺的旅程。

在那里，他拜师于第三代玻璃匠人乔瓦尼大师门下，学习并掌握了将熔融玻璃塑造成精美葡萄酒杯的技艺。然而，随着技艺的精进，他对家乡的思念也日益加深。他决定回到中国，创立自己的玻璃工坊，创造出既融合意大利工艺又彰显中国文化的葡萄酒杯。

品 (Pǐn) 这个名字诞生于亮在工作室的一次沉思。这个汉字寓意深远，意为“品味”、“欣赏”和“评判品质”，而它的结构由三个“口”组成，象征着与亲朋好友分享美酒、故事和美好时光。

每一只 品 杯的设计，不仅是为了盛放美酒，更是为了提升品酒的体验——将饮酒升华为一种连接与欣赏的时刻。三个“口”让他想起意大利人与挚爱举杯的传统，中国人分享茶道的习俗，以及世界各地人们共聚一堂的喜悦。

品 (Pǐn) 不仅仅是一个名字，它是一种邀请。邀请你放慢脚步，品味生活的丰盈，庆祝工艺与文化的美丽。每当你用 品 杯轻啜一口，你品尝的不仅是美酒，更是一个故事、一段旅程，以及一座连接东西方的艺术桥梁。

因为生命中最美好的时刻，值得细细品味。
