A Timeless Piece of Jingdezhen Craftsmanship
Born in Jingdezhen — the porcelain capital of China with over 1,700 years of ceramic history — this hand-painted green celadon vase is more than a decorative piece. It's a work of art, crafted by master artisans who have dedicated decades to perfecting their brushstrokes.
Each vase is entirely hand-painted, meaning no two pieces are ever exactly alike. The soft celadon green glaze is fired at 1300°C, resulting in a luminous, jade-like finish that deepens in beauty over time.
The elegant design draws inspiration from classical Chinese porcelain forms, reimagined for modern interiors. Whether displayed on a console table, mantel, or as a centerpiece, it brings a quiet sense of luxury and history to any space.
The Story Behind the Glaze
Celadon, known as "qingci" in Chinese, is one of the oldest ceramic glazes in the world. Its signature jade-like green has been prized by emperors and collectors for over two thousand years. Our artisans source local kaolin clay from the mountains surrounding Jingdezhen, then hand-mix the glaze using recipes passed down through generations.
Every piece goes through 72 steps of production — from clay preparation and throwing, to hand-painting, glazing, and firing. What takes a factory-made piece 24 hours to produce takes our artisans 7-10 days.

72 Steps. 10 Days. One Vase.
This is not a factory product. It is the result of over 72 careful steps, performed by hand, taking 7-10 days from raw clay to finished piece.
Step 1 — Sourcing the Clay. Our artisans dig kaolin clay from the mountains surrounding Jingdezhen. They test the soil by hand, feeling the texture, testing the purity. Only the finest clay is selected — the same material that built the city's imperial kilns centuries ago.
Step 2 — Throwing by Hand. Each vase is thrown on a spinning wheel by a master potter. The wheel spins at just the right speed — too fast and the clay collapses, too slow and the shape is uneven. One wrong move and hours of work are ruined.
Step 3 — Drying Slowly. The clay must dry naturally for 3-5 days in a temperature-controlled room. If it dries too fast, it cracks. If it dries unevenly, it warps. Patience is the most important material in the studio.
Step 4 — The First Firing. The raw clay goes into the kiln at 900°C. This "biscuit firing" hardens the clay so it can be painted. If the temperature rises too quickly, the piece explodes in the kiln.
Step 5 — Hand-Painting in Cobalt Blue. This is where the soul of the piece comes alive. The artisan sits for hours, brush in hand, painting each flower, leaf, and vine freehand in cobalt pigment. A single shaky line, one wrong pressure — and the entire vase is ruined. There are no second chances. The brush must be steady. The hand must be sure.
Step 6 — Glazing by Hand. The clear glaze is dipped and sprayed layer by layer. Too much glaze and it runs and covers the blue. Too little and the finish is flat. The difference between a good vase and a great one is in this step.
Step 7 — The Final Firing. At 1300°C, the glaze melts and fuses with the cobalt painting beneath. The kiln burns for 24 hours straight. We open it the next morning — and hope.
The Cost of Perfection: Our Yield Rate
For every 100 vases we start with, only about 60 make it to your home.
That means nearly 4 out of 10 vases are discarded — cracked, warped, or imperfect in some way. This is the hidden cost of true handmade porcelain.
| Stage | Loss Rate | What Goes Wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Throwing & Drying | ~10% | Clay cracks while drying, warps out of shape |
| First Firing (Biscuit) | ~8% | Pieces explode or crack in the kiln |
| Hand-Painting | ~10% | Shaky brushstroke, wrong cobalt tone, ruined design |
| Glazing | ~6% | Glaze runs, covers the blue, uneven coating |
| Final 1300°C Firing | ~6% | Glaze bubbles, warps, discolors, or cracks |
Total: ~40% loss. Only 60 out of 100 survive.
The discarded pieces are broken and recycled back into clay. They never reach a customer.
This is why handmade porcelain costs more than factory-made. You're not just paying for the vase itself — you're paying for the 40 pieces that didn't make it.
What Our Customers Say
"I've been collecting blue and white porcelain for years, and this holds its own against museum pieces. The brushwork is incredibly fine. It's the first thing people notice when they walk in." — Marcus T., New York
"Was worried the blue would be too bright or flat. It's not — it has depth, like the porcelain my grandmother had. The size is perfect for my bookshelf. Shipping took 10 days to the UK but packaging was fantastic." — Sarah L., London
"Bought this as a housewarming gift for my sister. She cried. She didn't know blue and white porcelain could look this good in a modern apartment. We're ordering another one for ourselves." — David K., Sydney
"You can tell it's handmade. The pattern isn't perfectly symmetrical — that's the point. It has character. Six months in and it still makes me smile every time I walk past it." — Emma W., Manchester
"Hand-painted. One of one. Made to last a lifetime."
