Liuli Gongfang or Liuligongfang (Chinese: 琉璃工房; pinyin: Liúlí Gōngfáng) is Taiwan's only contemporary glass studio devoted to artistic Chinese glassware.
Liuligongfang was founded in 1987 by actress
Taipei County (now New Taipei City). Yang and Chang originally had a fairly strict division of labour, with Yang handling the artistic aspects of their work, while Chang managed finances and other business responsibilities; with Chang's 1997 heart attack, Yang has taken over more of Chang's responsibilities as well, including contact with the media.[2]
Works created by Liuli Gongfang have become part of the permanent collection of
General Secretary Hu Jintao with a Liuli Gongfang sculpture; Hu gave him Jingde porcelain in return.[4]
