這對名為「Bohea」與「Hyson」的茶飲中國男子黃銅雕塑,靈感來自18世紀茶文化相關器物,現藏於美國殖民地威廉斯堡基金會館藏。當時,中國茶在18世紀的維吉尼亞州極為流行,成為重要的社交飲品。茶在歷史上的影響不容小覷——英國對茶具的需求催生了工業革命,而英國課徵茶稅更直接引發了美國獨立戰爭。殖民地威廉斯堡豐富的18世紀茶具收藏見證了這段歷史,也體現了當時新興的社交儀式。這些收藏採用「潮流結合傳統」(Trend Meets Tradition)的設計理念,讓歷史風格在當代依然歷久彌新。英國人對亞洲商品及「中國風」設計的迷戀,可追溯至1662年,葡萄牙的布拉干薩的凱瑟琳(Catherine of Braganza)將亞洲貿易路線作為嫁妝,帶入與英王查理二世的婚姻中,自此開啟了英國對東方美學的熱愛。
WILLIAMSBURG 系列中的「Bohea」與「Hyson」雕塑,便是受到殖民地威廉斯堡館藏版畫的啟發而誕生的作品。
The brass sculptures of tea drinking Chinese men, named "Hyson" and "Bohea" were inspired by 18th-century tea accoutrements held by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, for Chinese teas were popular in 18th-century Virginia. The historical impact of tea cannot be understated. British demand for tea wares sparked the Industrial Revolution, and a British tax on tea led to the American Revolution. Colonial Williamsburg′s bountiful collections of 18th-century tea wares - made to accommodate the new social ceremony—which are designed with a "Trend Meets Tradition" approach that keeps them fresh. The English have been smitten with Asian goods and designs "in the Chinese taste" since Catherine of Braganza brought a dowry of Asian trade routes to her marriage to King Charles II of England in 1662. The WILLIAMSBURG "Bohea" and Hyson" sculptures were motivated by a print in the Colonial Williamsberg.
