Many of the objects shown in this gallery lived with our ancestors. Some were part of the daily domestic routine, while others were brought out on special occasions, symbolizing the joy that accompanies a celebration. Some came from the Way of Tea culture, with strict rules about how to use them. Removed from traditional function and transported into contemporary life, each object stands on its own and starts to find an affinity for its new environment.
