• Firing process: Kiln-fired at 1325°C for a full 24 hours, undergoing a rigorous 72-step journey from clay to porcelain — each stage enhancing its strength, resilience, and delicate tactility

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.
• The bow is a universal symbol of elegance, femininity, and care — a gentle gesture of tying something close to the heart. On this cup, the sculptural bow is not just a decorative accent, but a reminder of affection, ceremony, and the beauty of everyday rituals.
• Its exaggerated curves and three-dimensional form create a sense of softness and romanticism, echoing the contours of a wrapped gift or a ribboned dress — making it a meaningful object for moments of gratitude, love, and celebration.
• With its high-gloss contrast against a matte ceramic body, the bow represents the harmony between strength and tenderness, making the cup an ideal gift for birthdays, bridesmaids, anniversaries, or simply as a token of self-care.
• Seamlessly blending the bold spirit of contemporary design with the centuries-old porcelain artistry of Jingdezhen, this piece stands as a testament to timeless craftsmanship reimagined for the modern lifestyle.
• Whether part of your morning ritual or displayed as a sculptural accent on your desk or shelf, this piece carries a quiet message of charm and intention — a celebration of style, grace, and warmth in daily life.

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.
