CUPOLA OF ST. MARK CUP – GILDED HANDLE
(porcelain, gilding (18ct gold), white glaze)
Large – ø = 8,5 cm, h = 5,5 cm
Small – ø = 6,5 cm, h = 4,5 cmThe cupola of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice stems from the old Christian symbolism of God from HAGIA SOPHIA, the first Christian cathedral in Istanbul. Since man is a symbolic creature, his oldest form of communication is the symbol. The cupola features the vault of heaven or man’s divine creature feeling the ground beneath its feet on the capitals representing life on Earth.
The Roman Pantheon with a cupola has an opening on the vault featuring the soul leaving the body through the "THIRD EYE" in the world of "GOLDEN BLOSSOM or HEAVEN." The symbolism of man’s immortality, represented by a cupola or a ball, is in this way carried on throughout time. The golden egg or golden lingam represents the golden blossom of man’s immortality with the same symbolism.
The author first conducted research on these ENERGY CUPS in 1963 in St Mark's church and in courses led by Giuseppe Mazzariol, Italo Zannier and Mario Deluigi at the AI CARMINI College of industrial design in Venice, where he also studied church domes.
This ideal cupola shape was transmitted into the porcelain cups collection. It has three points representing the Christian symbolism of the Holy Trinity: FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT. The handle of the cup is a circle that symbolise God.

THE ENERGY OF GOLDEN REFLECTION
The meaning of gold colour
The colour gold symbolises abundance, wealth, prestige, prosperity and luxury. It is the colour of success, achievements, triumph and optimism. It is associated with quality, prestige, sophistication and elegance. Gold attracts the eye and represents inspiration and the activation of spiritual energy. It can improve mental and physical health, while also lighting the way to future goals and bringing success, since it is associated with the energy of the sun and, in turn, with life energy, strength and self-confidence. It helps to achieve spiritual enlightenment and to gain knowledge and a deeper understanding of one’s own self and soul. It celebrates successes and motivates people to reach their potential. Gold is optimistic and positive, and adds richness and warmth to everything it is associated with, thus illuminating and enhancing other things around it as well. The colour gold increases passion and charisma, as well as compassion and understanding.
Gold is a sacred colour in both religious and magical contexts. It represents divine qualities, which is why many of the objects used in sacred rituals are made of gold or gold-coloured. It is associated with pre-eminence, has a frequency of higher protection, and signifies total integration and spiritual service.Why plate items in gold? Because humans also have a little gold in their bodies. What connects the individual human to their soul in the physical sense is gold. This connection is ‘golden’. Unless one ‘gilds’ oneself spiritually, one cannot come closer to God, to knowing oneself, to a deeper realisation that one is a spiritual being. A spiritual being can only develop in a physical body.
