Craftsmanship

• Hand-Thrown & High-Temperature Bisque Firing: Jingdezhen kaolin clay is hand-thrown into the cup and saucer forms, meticulously trimmed to the 9cm rim and 16cm 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 Glaze Firing: After bisque firing, a transparent glaze is applied to the entire outer surface, followed by a second high-temperature firing at 1300℃ to create a durable, glossy glaze layer
• Famille Rose & Gold Enamel Hand-Painting: Master artisans use hair-thin brushes to hand-paint mandala (lotus petal), geometric and dot motifs. The color separation & layered dyeing technique is applied, with 3–5 layers of subtle shading to render lifelike pattern details. 24K pure gold is inlaid along all edges and decorative bands for a luxurious, radiant luster
• 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 gilding. 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 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
