Appearance & Style

• Scalloped-Rim Saucer: Matching scalloped-rim saucer (Ø16cm × H2.5~3cm) with recessed center for stable cup placement, mirroring the cup’s floral motifs for a cohesive look
• Luminous White Porcelain: Smooth, translucent white porcelain base that amplifies the vibrant pink/purple peony and rose hues, creating a fresh, elegant contrast

• Auspicious Symbolism: Peony represents "prosperity and noble honor"; roses symbolize "romantic love and beauty"—ideal for wedding, anniversary, and high tea gifting

Craftsmanship

• Hand-Thrown & High-Temperature Bisque Firing: Jingdezhen kaolin clay is hand-thrown into the cup and saucer forms, meticulously trimmed to the 9.5cm 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 Hand-Painting & Gradient Shading: Master artisans use hair-thin brushes to hand-paint peony, rose, and foliage motifs. The color separation & layered dyeing technique is applied, with 3–5 layers of subtle shading to render lifelike petal veins, leaf texture, and branch details
• 3-Step Firing Process: After painting, the set undergoes 2 separate low-temperature firings at 780℃~820℃ to set the famille rose pigments. A final quality-control firing ensures all layers are locked permanently onto the glaze, resulting in fade-resistant, scratch-resistant color and 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
