Pucheng Ancient Pottery

Pucheng ancient pottery is a distinctive ceramic tradition originating from Puchengdian in the Weidong District of Pingdingshan, Henan Province. Archaeological finds at the site confirm a pottery-making culture stretching back more than five thousand years.

Characterised by robust, understated forms and a weathered, earthy elegance, Pucheng ware embodies the philosophy of “refinement hidden in simplicity” — a quiet beauty that echoes the dawn of Central Plains civilisation.

In recent years, local artisans have revived traditional clay recipes and firing methods, blending carving, painting, and calligraphy with the ware’s rustic character to produce tea caddies, incense burners, vases, and scholar’s desk accessories, establishing Pucheng ancient pottery as an important cultural emblem of modern Henan.

Blooming Riches Cup

This piece takes the auspicious theme of “flowers in full bloom, riches in abundance.” The form is full and stately with smooth, flowing contours. The clay body is solid and earthy, the glaze warm and mellow, and the surface carries a relief peony in lavish detail — layered petals unfurling above spreading leaves, capturing both the spirit and the form. It serves equally well as a display piece and a vessel of good wishes, uniting traditional craftsmanship with Chinese aesthetics and an undertone of prosperity and grace.

Dragon Cup

Hand-shaped from dark clay, this cup features a sinuous dragon carved in relief around its exterior. The fluid lines bring an air of auspicious energy to what is, at heart, a perfectly balanced drinking vessel.

Lotus Wash

The exterior is carved with lotus blossoms that read almost like an ink-wash painting — suggesting both the breadth of an open mind and the understated charm of antiquity.

Chattering-Knife Wash

This small wash is decorated on the outside with “chattering-knife” texture — crisp, rhythmic marks left by a bouncing blade that showcase the beauty of the handmade. Compact and refined, it unites everyday function with quiet elegance.

Xishi Three-Piece Set

Modelled on the classic Xishi teapot, this set features a body as round and full as polished jade, a short, delicate spout, and a handle that curves perfectly into the palm. The clay is solid and earthy, the glaze restrained and luminous, and the surface carries a natural, time-worn texture. Comfortable to hold and pouring smoothly, it balances utility and beauty. Steeped in traditional craftsmanship and the gentle grace of Chinese form, it reveals the quiet charm of ancient pottery and the soft elegance of the Xishi silhouette with every cup of tea.

Ruyi Treasure Three-Piece Set

Named for the “ruyi” sceptre of good fortune, this teapot is round and generous in form, with a handle echoing the flowing curves of the ruyi motif. The clay body is solid and earthy, the glaze warm and understated, and the surface carries the patina of age. Comfortable to hold and pouring smoothly, it combines practical use with auspicious meaning — traditional craftsmanship infused with Chinese symbolism and tea-table refinement, concealing quiet blessings within its honest, weighty beauty.

Diamond Flower Vase

Glazes of many colours bloom across the surface like scattered flowers, while the diamond-shaped body offers crisp angles softened by a gentle warmth. Place a few slender stems inside and it brings a spark of timeless life to any tea table or study.

Treasure Flower Vase

Three individual pieces come together to tell a single story of tradition meeting modernity. Each draws on the essence of Hua porcelain heritage.

Dragon Bi Disc

Inspired by the ancient jade bi disc, this piece features a dragon — the totemic emblem of the Chinese people — as its central motif. The base is adorned with the mythical tianlu and bixie guardians, believed to attract fortune from every direction.

Hua Porcelain Three-Piece Set

Fired at high temperature, the glaze swirls with intermingled black and blue, its flowing patterns embodying the saying “one colour enters the kiln; ten thousand colours emerge.” The teapot’s lines are rounded and its pour effortless; the twin cups sit comfortably in the hand with a warm, smooth finish. The dense glaze neither absorbs flavour nor stains, making it easy to clean and suitable for any type of tea. For personal enjoyment or as a gift, it brings artistry and refinement to the smallest moment.

Touching Clouds Three-Piece Set

The name evokes “drawing spring water and reaching for the clouds.” The form is tall and flowing, its lines unfurling like drifting clouds. The porcelain is translucent and silky, the glaze clear and refined. A gently upturned spout, a gracefully curving handle, and a comfortable grip produce a clean, smooth pour. Blending poetic imagery with practical function, this set distils traditional craftsmanship and the tranquil beauty of mountain landscapes into a vessel of understated Chinese elegance.

Celadon Host Cup

The cup displays a warm, sky-blue celadon glaze — lustrous as polished jade — with a dark accent band along the rim that adds a layer of understated sophistication. The clay body is fine and dense, the form shaped to nestle in the palm. Walls of even thickness excel at concentrating aroma and retaining heat, making this cup an ideal companion for pu’erh, white tea, and other fine brews — a refined choice for solo appreciation at the tea table.
