Jingdezhen Porcelain – Exquisite Intangible Cultural Heritage
The core materials of Jingdezhen porcelain are kaolin (gaolingtu) and porcelain stone (cishi). After washing and aging, these materials are proportionally blended into clay body to ensure stability under high-temperature firing.
The meticulous handcrafting process involves multiple stages: hand-throwing on a potter’s wheel, trimming and refining the body, glaze application (including overglaze, in-glaze, and underglaze techniques), and firing.
The firing process, susceptible to damage from temperature fluctuations, contributes to both the extraordinary beauty and relative scarcity of Jingdezhen porcelain.
Jingdezhen ceramics embody dignified elegance, adorned with auspicious motifs such as dragon patterns (longwen, symbolizing imperial authority) and interlocking lotus vines (chanzhilian, representing longevity and harmony).
More than utilitarian objects, Jingdezhen ceramics represent the material embodiment of Chinese civilization. As diplomatic gifts and global trade commodities, they have profoundly influenced ceramic production worldwide.
Immerse yourself in the artistry of Chinese porcelain with this Jingdezhen hand-painted Doucai teacup, featuring intricate birds and blossoms motifs in overglaze enamels on a high-foot, flared-rim design. A masterful blend of traditional craftsmanship and refined elegance for discerning tea lovers.
Authentic Doucai Technique
Combines underglaze blue outlines with vibrant overglaze enamels for a multi-dimensional finish.
Birds & Blossoms Symbolism
The lively bird-and-flower motif represents harmony, prosperity, and the joy of nature.
High-Foot Flared-Rim Design
Originating from Ming dynasty tea wares, the flared rim enhances aroma release and sipping comfort, while the elevated foot brings visual lightness.
Our artisans employ a dual-firing process: first shaping and underglaze-blue firing of the teacup; then hand-painting the birds & blossoms motifs in overglaze enamels and firing again at a lower temperature to achieve a glossy, durable finish. This meticulous Doucai technique ensures each cup is both a work of art and a functional tea vessel.
Teapot capacity: 90 ml
