Arts & Crafts Museum Hangzhou
Hangzhou, China

This pair of copper scissors, with a cute form and meticulous craftsmanship, has two square tips in case of accidental hurts. Openwork floral patterns were crafted to decorated the section between the blades and the quail-egg-shaped finger bows. When the scissors are closed, four “S”-shaped lines, similar to a curved leaf, can be seen surrounding a big ring circling six oval petals, constituting a beautiful flower crown. The openwork decoration with clear arranged layers makes this pair of practical tool a delight to watch.
