Verdant Tea

The talented artists at Chun He Hui Guan have made a name for themselves with gold painting, but bring a strong statement to the table with this perfectly executed and difficult style of painting where the paint itself comes up from the base of the ceramic - a hard enough feat for simple lines or flowers, but nearly impossible when looking for a perfectly geometric and harmonious wave pattern. The workshop’s skills are triumphant with the collectors' piece, evoking the deep green sea and contrasting thick layers of color with almost paper-thin porcelain that glows in the light. The highly vitrified high-fired Jingdezhen porcelain is perfectly non-reactive and more ideally suited than any other material to reflecting the true aromatics of a tea.

This stunning collectors piece from the talented artists at Chun He Hui Guan was entirely hand-made and hand painted, making every cup completely one of a kind. The highly vitrified high-fired Jingdezhen porcelain is perfectly non-reactive and more ideally suited than any other material to reflecting the true aromatics of a tea. The cup has been thrown so thin that light glows through the porcelain. The delicate meticulous hand painting brings in Chun He Hui Guan’s distinctive work with actual gold and a stunning deep red for fine but gestural and expressive young flowers - the first blooms of spring.
