Meaning & Symbolism

• Fen-yin (white slipware) is a traditional ceramic technique where a layer of white slip — a liquid clay — is brushed over a darker clay body. Instead of smoothing or covering completely, the artist leaves the surface intentionally uneven, allowing the underlying material to show through. This creates a unique texture and depth, often called a “white blush” or “ceramic makeup.” Each piece reveals hand-brushed marks, thickness variations, and natural imperfections — a celebration of imperfection and individuality in handmade porcelain.
• Inspired by the enduring beauty of nature, the Gilded Gold glaze radiates warmth and prosperity, symbolizing abundance, success, and celebration. Its lustrous golden tone brings a sense of elegance and joy to every tea ritual.
• The Antique Green finish recalls tranquil mountain forests and timeless landscapes, representing renewal, vitality, and harmony — a perfect balance for mindful tea moments.
• Palace Red draws from the grandeur of ancient Chinese palaces, signifying blessings, happiness, and lasting love. Its rich hue makes it an auspicious choice for gifting to loved ones.
• The deep and vivid Sapphire Blue evokes the vast night sky and serene ocean depths, embodying wisdom, peace, and quiet strength.

• Crafted through traditional kiln-firing, each cup carries unique variations in tone and texture, transforming functional tea vessels into works of art. This blend of cultural artistry and natural inspiration makes these couples’ cups a meaningful gift — symbolizing blessings, longevity, and the harmony between people and nature.

Craft Story: Jingdezhen

• Historical Significance: Nestled in the misty mountains of Jiangxi Province, Jingdezhen has been crafting porcelain for over 1,700 years. The city’s kilns once produced imperial ware for Tang and Song courts, setting technical and aesthetic benchmarks that shaped East Asian ceramics for centuries.
• Ceramic Innovation: Beyond its legacy, Jingdezhen is a crucible of innovation — where traditional hand-throwing and glazing coexist with contemporary experimentation. Studios in the region continue to develop unique clay bodies, custom glazes, and sculptural techniques passed down through apprenticeships and artist guilds.
• Cultural Impact: From monochrome wares to celadon and blue-and-white porcelain, Jingdezhen’s artistic output has long been a cultural ambassador of Chinese craftsmanship. Its ceramics have crossed oceans, appearing in museum collections and collector circles from Kyoto to Amsterdam.
• Modern Renaissance: Today’s Jingdezhen is a vibrant creative hub — home to thousands of independent ceramic artists, design studios, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. The city bridges past and present, producing work that is both deeply rooted and globally relevant.
