'Flower Bowl No.9' (2017) is a collaborative piece made from Parian porcelain. Ting designed the artwork using the flower-making skill of Chinese ceramic artist Zha Cai Duan. Made in Dehua, the quality and delicacy of the handmade flowers is incredible.

'Marine Group' was our first purchase of Danish glass and is extremely significant to our collection, as Denmark, like Ireland, was one of the early glassmaking regions in Europe.
