• Glows in the light — Sunlight or lamp light shines through the hand-carved hollow-outs, revealing a burst of colorful fireworks hidden inside the white porcelain.

The Story Behind the Glow

linglong porcelain — literally "emerald porcelain" — is known as one of Jingdezhen's four treasures. Artisans drill tiny holes ("linglong holes") into the unfired clay, then fill them with transparent glaze and fire at high temperature. When the glaze melts, it seals the holes into tiny windows of light.

Because every hole is drilled by hand and must survive the firing without cracking, only about 50% of each batch makes it out of the kiln intact. What you hold is the other half.

Note

Because every piece is hand-carved and hand-painted, the position and number of fireworks may vary slightly from piece to piece — this is part of its handmade character, not a defect.
