{"product_id":"symmetry-cup","title":"Symmetry Cup","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Symmetry Cup is inscribed with two lines and two dots at its center points, symbolizing an attempt toward perfect symmetry with an inherently imperfect material. Designed with a square base and a rounded top, the cup also nods to contrasting geometry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymmetry marks Xiong’s introduction to tableware with a porcelain cup, plate, and\u003cbr\u003ebowl. Pushing against porcelain’s natural imperfections, the collection aims to\u003cbr\u003eachieve perfect symmetry and form. Painted with simple dots, lines, or circles\u003cbr\u003ealong the groove at the exact center of each piece, Xiong attempts perfection\u003cbr\u003ewith a material that doesn’t always cooperate. Symmetry also nods to the geometric shapes in Xiong’s furniture with complementary squares and circles sculpted\u003cbr\u003einto each vessel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiong traveled to Jingdezhen (景德镇市), the porcelain capital of the world, to\u003cbr\u003emanufacture her collection with the masters. Jingdezhen porcelain gets heated at higher temperatures, causing 6 out of every 10 pieces to break or explode in the kiln. Because of this, Jingdezhen porcelain is rarely exported or produced in large batches. Symmetry is one of the few Jingdezhen porcelain collections available\u003cbr\u003eoutside of China with modern interpretations of the town’s traditional techniques. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Idea House 3","offers":[{"title":"Black \u0026 White","offer_id":48860175401255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":48860175434023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/0189\/1367\/files\/symmetry-05.jpg?v=1721659570","url":"https:\/\/shop.walkerart.org\/products\/symmetry-cup","provider":"Walker Art Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
