Craftsmanship

• Hand-Thrown & High-Temperature Bisque Firing: Jingdezhen kaolin clay is hand-thrown into the cup and saucer forms, meticulously trimmed to the 6cm rim and 14cm saucer diameter. The raw clay undergoes 1280℃ high-temperature bisque firing to form a dense, jade-like white porcelain base with a smooth, luminous finish

• High-Temperature Turquoise Glaze Firing: After bisque firing, a uniform turquoise glaze is applied to the entire outer surface, followed by a second high-temperature firing at 1300℃ to create a durable, glossy turquoise glaze layer

• Gold-Inlaid (Cuo Jin) Famille Rose Hand-Painting: Master artisans use hair-thin brushes to hand-paint peony, chrysanthemum, lotus and foliage motifs, then apply the traditional gold-inlaid (cuo jin) technique to inlay 24K pure gold into the patterns, creating a luxurious, textured finish. The color separation & layered dyeing technique is applied, with 3–5 layers of subtle shading to render lifelike petal veins and leaf texture

• 4-Step Firing Process: After painting, the set undergoes 2 separate low-temperature firings at 780℃~820℃ to set the famille rose pigments. This is followed by a third low-temperature firing at 600℃~700℃ to secure the gold-inlaid detailing. A final quality-control firing ensures all layers are locked permanently, resulting in fade-resistant, scratch-resistant color and brilliant gold luster

• Low Yield Rate: The ultra-fine hand-painting, gold-inlaid craft and multi-temperature firing demand extreme precision, resulting in a final yield rate of only 25%~30%—each set is a rare, handcrafted collectible art piece
