Crystal Tiger head shoes, Tiger, Tiger Cub King

The Collection: Crystal Animal Sculpture: Tiger Figurines

Design Description:

The tiger cub bootie is the quintessential gift for newborns in Chinese culture; it symbolizes a bestowal of ancestral hope, a lively childhood and health. Gazing at the world with large curious eyes, the design repeats circular elements (head, ears, eyes, crown) avoiding pointed corners and giving the design a youthful and spirited feel. Liuli’s translucency allows light to pass through and light up the design from within, illuminating its charm. The small bell hanging from the ear adds interest - rattle it to hear a gentle tinkle that will accompany the child as they grow. A modest cub today, a benevolent king tomorrow.

长辈送孩子虎头鞋，不仅希望孩子健壮成长，而且希望长得虎头虎脑，虎虎实实，有虎一样的内在气质。虎被视为一种吉祥物、保护神，是孩子童年的重要陪伴。此外，民间多为布艺制作，琉璃工房则创新以琉璃制作虎头鞋。天真烂漫的孩童与同样清澈通透的琉璃搭配，既传承了我国虎头鞋 文化，又将琉璃材质与孩童的特性关联。一种寄託长辈真诚恒久的祝福将会一直陪伴孩子成长。琉璃虎头鞋的小耳朵上挂著的银铃，更加体现了虎头鞋的调皮可爱，结合清响的铃声，更加符合孩子的生理、心理状态。
