Our Craft

Born of clay, fire
and a steady hand

For over a thousand years, the kilns of Jingdezhen have turned kaolin clay into porcelain so fine it was reserved for emperors. We work directly with small studios along the old kiln districts — no middlemen, no anonymous factories.

Every product page on this site tells you exactly how that piece was made: wheel-thrown or slip-cast, hand-painted under the glaze or printed over it, fired once at 1,300°C or twice for famille rose.

“A gaiwan has no hidden mechanism. The form is honest — and honesty is what we buy.” — Qingci Studio, Jingdezhen

Seventy-Two Steps

From kaolin to your hands

01

Kaolin & China Stone

Jingdezhen porcelain begins with local kaolin and petuntse, weathered, washed and kneaded until the body throws clean.

02

Wheel & Trimming

Thrown thin, then trimmed thinner — the “thin as paper” body is cut, not cast, which is why light passes through it.

03

Cobalt Underglaze

Blue-and-white motifs are painted in cobalt on the raw body, then sealed under transparent glaze — they can never fade.

04

1,300°C Kiln Fire

One firing, one verdict. The kiln decides which pieces ring like a chime — and only those ship to you.

Good Questions

Before you ask

Is every piece really made in Jingdezhen?+
Yes. Every item in the Qingci collection is sourced directly from studios and kilns in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi — the porcelain capital of China for over a thousand years. Each product page states how that specific piece was made: wheel-thrown, hand-painted, or kiln-cast.
How do you ship fragile porcelain internationally?+
Every order is double-boxed: the inner gift box is suspended inside a corrugated outer box with molded foam and honeycomb wrap. We ship by global fragile express with tracking. If anything arrives broken, send us a photo within 48 hours and we reship or refund — your choice.
How should I care for blue-and-white porcelain and gaiwan?+
Rinse soon after tea, hand wash with warm water and a soft cloth, and avoid knocking the lid against the bowl rim. Keep porcelain away from sudden temperature shocks — never pour boiling water into a cold vessel. Ceramic bracelet beads should be kept away from perfume, hot springs, and chemical cleaners.
What is a Zodiac Pairing?+
Each Zodiac Pairing matches one ceramic bracelet with one teaware set whose glaze, motif, and mood are chosen to echo the character of your star sign — a bracelet to wear and a tea set to slow down with. They arrive together in one gift box, ready for gifting.
Do you offer returns?+
Yes — 30-day worry-free returns on all unused items in their original packaging. Custom or personalized pieces are final sale. Return shipping is on us if the item arrived damaged.
