Song Inspired
Porcelain Dinnerware

The celadon glaze is rooted in Song dynasty aesthetics (宋式美学 sòng shì měi xué). It’s like having a small bit of history in the kitchen. Characterized by peony carvings and a subtly off-round body, it’s a blend of the traditional and modern.

In the year 1004, an emperor named a small porcelain town after his reign era: Jingde (景德 jǐng dé). Nearby stands a hill called Kaolin (高岭 gāo lǐng), where the pure white clay for porcelain was dug. The pale blue-white porcelain it made, "shadow blue", we call the color celadon. In Chinese it is the color of the sky after rain: blue, green and gray, changing with the light.

It is fired above 1,300°C, which makes the porcelain dense, hard and non-porous. Resists stains. Soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil wash clean from the glaze.

The best porcelain for
an Asian dinner party

Family style! It’s a set for the shared table.

We believe food brings people together. Talk about culture, ancestors, shared identities. It’s an invitation for a shared meal for all who loves to gather over authentic conversations.

Ideal for rice, noodles, soup and shared dishes: shallow plates for dumplings, a deep plate for stir-fries, a bowl that fits the hand, plus an oval plate for that steamed fish.

And it’s easy to clean! Throw in the dishwasher (or hand wash and use the dishwasher as the drying rack), and because of the dense and non-porous surface, oil, sweet-and-sour sauce and garlic won’t linger!

Inspiration from the
museums

Inspired by the way our ancestors ate, let’s recreate that moment of a scholarly feast from the Song dynasty.

The makers started as design students at Jingdezhen's ceramics university. They took inspiration from natural motifs seen on wares from the past, and integrated modern design aesthetics.

The peony, the "king of flowers," is redrawn here with simpler lines. The edges of the porcelain rise and dip like petals instead of closing in a perfect circle.

Artisanal techniques
passed down from
centuries

Half-knife carving (半刀泥 bàn dāo ní) is a traditional ceramic carving technique from Jingdezhen, where lines are deep on one side and shallow on the other, creating a vivid relief effect.

A glassy and slightly cloudy glaze is then applied. It scatters light, giving the porcelain body a soft, milky depth.
