Bone China Tea and Coffee Set (1 Tea Pot & 4 Cups) - Autumn Mountain

Autumn Mountain (1 Tea Pot & 4 Cups)

Easy rain, clear skies,
Autumn mountain clouds.
A chill in the air
Brings us closer,
And families together
In comfort and reunion.

山秋 (一壺四杯)

快雨時晴
山秋雲物冷
空氣微涼
令彼此靠近
依偎著
一家一戶的小團圓。

Design Concept

The design of Autumn Mountain is inspired by classic Chinese landscape paintings. The body of the pot is like the scroll upon which a pair of sparrows are represented in relief. The lid is like an auspicious cloud, featuring a signature liuli bead in true red. The sparrows on the body boast realistic feathers; combined with auspicious clouds and a liuli pearl, it is like the morning sun breaking through a thick morning fog, introducing the capacity for reverie to an otherwise quiet picture. In designing the piece, utmost attention was paid to sculptural accuracy and the luminosity of the glaze. Bone China aims for purity without banality, modesty without mediocrity, for the moment when the most difficult aspect becomes the centerpiece of the final product.
