Craftsmanship

• Hand-Thrown & High-Temperature Bisque Firing: Jingdezhen kaolin clay is hand-thrown into the waisted form, meticulously trimmed to the 10cm scalloped rim and 9×6cm body. The raw clay undergoes 1280℃ high-temperature bisque firing to form a dense, jade-like white porcelain base with a smooth, luminous finish
• Precision Trimming & Polishing: Post-bisque, fine edge trimming and surface polishing refine the scalloped rim and handle, ensuring a flawless, comfortable grip
• Famille Rose Hand-Painting & Color Separation: Master artisans use hair-thin brushes to hand-paint iris, daisy, and foliage motifs, applying the color separation & layered dyeing technique to create gradient shading—each petal vein and leaf texture rendered with meticulous detail
• 3-Step Low-Temperature Firing: After painting, the cup undergoes 3 separate low-temperature firings at 780℃~820℃ to set the famille rose pigments. This multi-step process locks colors permanently onto the glaze, ensuring vibrant, fade-resistant hues that retain their clarity for decades
• 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 piece is a rare, handcrafted collectible
