Flora

About The Entry

"Flora" is a modern afternoon tea set rooted in the poetic aesthetics of the Eastern courtyard, crafted to construct a dedicated sanctuary of ritual amidst the urban jungle, elevating the mundane into a meditative experience of self-healing. Its name is derived from a classical Chinese Ci poetry title, embodying the spiritual liberation and vitality of the verse: "Spring has its flowers, and Autumn has its moon." The design ingeniously integrates five traditional Chinese pigments—Wisteria Purple, Vermilion Drunk (Zhu Yan Tuo), Sunset Red, Firmiana Green, and Sunny Mountain Blue—into the tea setting. Within this blooming garden of reverie, the collection utilizes pen-style fine linework to outline the passionate silhouettes of gerberas, oncidiums, and dahliae. By innovatively layering ceramic decals, handcrafted relief, and golden effects, it delivers a multi-dimensional visual impact while conveying the heartfelt blessing of "perennial prosperity and joy in every endeavor."

The luminous, translucent surface and the warm, jade-like touch of the high-white porcelain clay result from the ultimate collision between Jingdezhen’s millennial heritage and modern technology. Incorporating 3D-printed molds and high-pressure slip casting for precision forming, each vessel undergoes four rigorous firing processes, including a 1380°C reduction flame, to ensure maximum vitrified hardness and the purity of zero material cross-contamination. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted with 12% German Heraeus liquid gold. Under the dual assurance of the official "Jingdezhen Made" authorization and international food-grade testing, it achieves absolute safety with zero lead or cadmium leaching. This patented design rejects cold museum replication, instead transforming time-honored techniques into the daily poetry of contemporary life. It brings an innate elegance to every moment of tasting, vividly illustrating to the world the timeless eco-friendly lifestyle and cultural vitality of Chinese ceramics.
