Story

 

Like the name suggests, much of this jug is left unseen. 

A single wash of green appears through the white porcelain, like a lake briefly visible through morning mist before fading again. Around the rim, a warm line traces the horizon, holding the landscape together without ever defining it.

It's a jug for tea, milk or water, poured slowly enough to notice the space between one cup and the next. 

 

Part of the Mountains series, thrown in porcelain and finished with a white slip that lets the green glaze settle more gently after firing.

Care

Jingdezhen porcelain doesn't absorb water. It resists acid and bacteria by nature, fired hard enough to be nonporous.
A knock against a hard surface can crack it. Handle it the way you'd handle anything you cherish.
Wash by hand. Avoid steel wool or anything abrasive - it will scratch the glaze.
Meet the maker

Rather than treating decoration as ornament, Li Zhen paints with glaze. Soft greens, earthy browns, flowing brushstrokes and restrained forms evoke mountains, streams, gardens and changing seasons. Each vessel feels less like an object depicting nature than a quiet landscape held in the hand.
