Our “Blooming” is celadon plate.

Completely handmade by artist in Longquan, Zhejiang Province of China. 

Unique item. 

Celadon is a kind of characteristic Chinese porcelain, especially its unique glaze colour and special jade-like quality of glaze. Celadon was flourished in Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) in Chinese history. For many centuries, celadon wares were highly regarded by the Chinese Imperial court.

The colour of sky after rain

The most famous colour of Celadon is the bluish-green. 

It is said this colour originated from an emperor’s dream of the sky after rain. 

The finishing of the glaze has a similar quality of nephrite jade which is the most highly valued and appreciated material in China.

The feeling that this glaze reveals is calming and tranquil.

The glaze of this celadon is made from the artist’s unique recipe. The ingredients of the glaze recipe are completely from traditional nature minerals. No synthetic ingredients. 

The artist tries to revive the impressive colour and quality of Celadon as it was described in the historical records hundreds years ago.

Compare with the dullness of normal industrial chemical colour glaze, this celadon glaze has a much more alive and vivid colour. 

The small and tiny lines in the glaze is the result of the accumulation of a very thick layer of glaze.

“True Celadon” has a thin body but very thick layer of glaze.

That’s the secret of having a jade-like quality. 

On the edge of the plate is decorated with hand-carved shape of lotus petal. 

The plate has superlative craftsmanship. All the details appear perfect. 

At the bottom of the box, there is a carved signature of the artist. 

The colour of this celadon plate can be a bit various between green and blue under different lights. 

That’s the charm of authentic celadon glaze. 

You can use the plate as a refined decoration for your home.

You can also use it in your everyday life for fruit and food. 

But we do not recommend you use knife and fork on it. 

Just simple lines and perfect shape. No complicated decoration and painting. 

Back to the aesthetic views of Song Dynasty.

Less is more.

We only make special things that can last.
