Bone China

⭐Thin & Durable    ⭐High Translucency

Bone China is a globally recognized high-end porcelain variety. Its core process is adding more than 30% animal bone ash to the porcelain clay, which gives it properties that ordinary ceramics cannot match. It has excellent light transmittance, showing a soft and translucent texture under light; higher hardness, resistant to wear and impact, and not easy to deform after long-term use; warm and light hand feel, with a delicate touch when touched. At the same time, high-quality Bone China is lead-free and cadmium-free, safe and environmentally friendly after high-temperature firing. It is suitable for daily use and also becomes a common material for high-end gifts due to its elegant texture, combining practicality and aesthetic value.

What is Gold Tracing?

In essence, Gold Tracing is the art of adorning a finished object with motifs painted entirely by hand, using genuine gold (typically 24 K gold powder suspended in media like tung oil) as the pigment. This technique demands the artisan's complete focus and mastery, where hand and heart move in unison to create radiant patterns with the most delicate brushstrokes. Each line of gold carries the warmth of the human hand and a legacy of craftsmanship, instantly transforming the piece with an aura of luxury and artistic vitality. It is not merely a technique passed down through generations, but a sublime elevation of beauty.

The Kiss

⭐Passionate life movement

The Kiss is a magnum opus of Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, rendered in oil on canvas. Adorned with luxurious gold leaf and delicate symbolic motifs, the artwork captures  an intimate moment of two lovers embracing and kissing—its brilliant golden background radiates unparalleled romance and opulence. Featuring a square composition, The Kiss is deeply influenced by the contemporaneous Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts Movement. By innovatively applying gold leaf over a traditional oil painting base, Klimt accentuated the work’s modern artistic tension. The lovers’ bodies are adorned with intricate patterns and motifs, blending striking decorative aesthetics with profound symbolic meanings. Breaking free from worldly conventions and moral constraints, the painting conveys a warm, romantic, and passionate life impulse, establishing itself as a timeless artistic icon of love.

Handle Design

Half-ear handle design, exclusively crafted for heat insulation and comfortable grip—featuring ample finger space that fits the curve of your fingertips, ensuring even pressure distribution and a warm, non-abrasive touch. The handle maintains a natural heat-insulating distance from the cup body, effectively blocking high temperatures inside. Even when filled with boiling water, it can be held easily, making every tea/coffee moment safe and enjoyable, balancing practicality with humanized design.

Cup Base Design

The cup base features an unglazed design—its natural ceramic texture inherently provides anti-slip performance, ensuring stable placement without tipping or sliding on surfaces. The matte, textured finish reduces friction between the base and tabletop, preventing scratches on wood, glass, marble, and other materials. With no sharp edges, it’s safe to touch, balancing practicality with thoughtful detail, making daily use worry-free.
