Motifs & Meaning
Maker & Place
Black glazes have been fired across China’s ceramic regions since ancient times. At Jingdezhen, their development reached a high point during the Kangxi reign.
This small tea dish pairs the depth of black glaze with a silver rim, giving its outline a clear, luminous definition. The dark surface lends visual weight to its compact proportions.
In the maker’s interpretation, black is xuán: the profound colour of Heaven and Earth. It carries associations of dignity, stillness, restraint and depth.
Placed within a tea setting, the dish offers a composed foundation, allowing the colour of nearby porcelain and the simple movements of serving tea to stand out.
