Autumn Mountain (1 Tea Pot & 4 Cups)

Easy rain, clear skies,
Autumn mountain clouds.
A chill in the air
Brings us closer,
And families together
In comfort and reunion.

山秋 (一壺四杯)

快雨時晴
山秋雲物冷
空氣微涼
令彼此靠近
依偎著
一家一戶的小團圓。

Design Concept

The design of Autumn Mountain is inspired by classic Chinese shan shui painting. The body of the pot is like the scroll upon which a pair of sparrow are represented in relief. The lid is like an auspicious cloud, featuring a signature liuli bead in true red. The sparrows on the body boast realistic feathers; combined with auspicious clouds and a liuli pearl, it is like the morning sun breaking through a thick morning fog, introducing the capacity for reverie to an otherwise quiet picture. In designing the piece, utmost attention was paid to sculptural accuracy and luminosity of glaze. Bone china aims for purity without banality, modesty without mediocrity, for the moment when the most difficult aspect becomes the centerpiece in the final product.

茶具設計靈感，源自中國古代山水畫。壺身化身為畫軸，用浮雕描繪一對相互依偎的雀鳥，停靠在一株枝葉上。壺蓋是一朵立體的祥雲造型，頂端裝飾有品牌標誌的正紅色琉璃珠。白潤細膩的骨瓷壺身，模擬山水畫的留白與虛實，浮雕之外沒有一絲贅述，空景的營造令畫面觀感舒適，如同置身世外桃源，有著清新自在的呼吸感。壺身上的雀鳥，芊羽可見，寫實逼真，祥雲與琉璃珠的結合，則如晨霧中升起一輪旭日，為安靜的畫面帶來一點遐想的空間。在製作上，既要維持雕塑的精準，又要兼顧釉色的油亮，一件骨瓷作品，力求純淨不單調，細節低調卻不平庸，是難點也是成品後的亮點。
