It represents the exquisite craftsmanship of artisans and the rich heritage of traditional porcelain-making techniques.

The pattern of entwined lotus on the cup symbolizes purity, nobility, and growth. In Chinese culture, the lotus is revered as a symbol of purity and auspiciousness, and its resilient growth is also seen as a symbol of virtue.

CUP MAKING TECHNIQUE: CLOISONNE PORCELAIN

Copper Wire Cloisonne, also known as "Cloisonne" or "Inlaid Cloisonne," is a traditional Chinese metalcraft. Soft, flat copper wires are bent and soldered onto a copper base in intricate patterns. Enamel glazes are then filled into these patterns and fired, creating ornate objects. It is recognized as a prestigious Chinese art form and holds national intangible cultural heritage status

MAKING PROCESS

Preparing the Base: The porcelain base is prepared and shaped according to the desired form, typically using molds or wheel throwing techniques.
Applying Metal Strips: Thin strips of copper or silver are carefully bent and affixed to the porcelain surface using a special adhesive. These strips outline the design and create compartments (cloisons) that will hold the enamel.
Filling with Enamel: Colored enamel paste, made from powdered glass and pigments, is carefully applied into each cloison compartment. Multiple layers of enamel may be applied to achieve the desired color intensity and depth.
Firing: The piece is fired in a kiln at high temperatures, typically around 800-900°C. During firing, the enamel melts and fuses with the metal strips and porcelain base, forming a smooth and glossy surface.
Polishing and Finishing: After firing, the cloisonné piece is carefully polished to remove any imperfections and to enhance the shine of the enamel surface. Additional decorative elements, such as gilding or metal fittings, may be added at this stage.
