Story

 

Refined above, grounded below. 

Soft green and warm ochre marks move around the glazed rim. The foot is left entirely unglazed: the clay is visible, close to the earth it came from. It's like finding something unexpected on a long walk.

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.
