Description
The Lotus Cup distills centuries of ritual into a vessel that fits easily in the palm. Its sculptural, four-petal form takes inspiration from the geometry of the lotus, a symbol of quiet strength and renewal in Eastern tradition.
Small and deliberate at 60 ml, it recalls the cups once used in ancient gatherings for wine or tea, now reimagined for espresso, sake, or the simple comfort of an afternoon pour. The roselle red glaze deepens at the edges, revealing soft gradients where the fire touched it differently each time.
Every cup feels intimate, a small moment of balance between discipline and spontaneity, weight and lightness.

Inspiration
Objects are not trophies. They are the quiet witnesses to how you live.
Roselle Garden is a dream of Jiangnan at dawn, where mist lifts from water and the world feels suspended between waking and memory.
The deer moves softly through this imagined garden, a timeless symbol of grace and renewal. On porcelain, its form is more than ornament; it speaks of the balance between freedom and stillness, life and art.
Through the kiln’s unpredictable alchemy, colours bloom and shift like light through early fog, each cup a small landscape of chance and craftsmanship.
The Artisan Behind
In Jingdezhen, Master Deng Xiping continues a lineage once reserved for imperial workshops. Her life in porcelain spans over six decades, from apprentice to national master of coloured glazes, and her hands still carry the rhythm of patience learned in youth.
Working alongside a new generation of women artisans, Deng’s studio redefines what heritage can be. Here, tradition is not repeated but renewed: every brushstroke and glaze firing becomes a dialogue between eras, between the precision of the past and the emotion of the present.
The Roselle Garden series embodies this evolution, porcelain as both memory and movement, a quiet testament to the artistry of women shaping the future of an ancient craft.
