Sunlight Passes Through Linglong Porcelain
Linglong porcelain is known for translucent patterned areas formed within the porcelain body. In ordinary light, the cup appears softly ivory-white; when held to sunlight, light passes through the Linglong details and reveals a quiet, luminous pattern.
Pattern formed within the porcelain, revealed by light
The motif is not simply printed on the surface. Translucent Linglong details are integrated into the porcelain body, creating a clear contrast between softly opaque white porcelain and areas that allow light to pass through.
Subtle in soft light, translucent in sunlight
Without strong backlight, the motif rests quietly within the warm white surface. When sunlight enters from behind, the same details appear brighter and more translucent while the surrounding porcelain remains softly opaque.
Warm tea brings another layer of light
With pale-gold or amber tea inside, the Linglong pattern takes on a softer warmth. Tea, porcelain and natural light meet in the cup, allowing the translucent details to change gently with every pour.
Soft ivory-white, quiet and refined
A softly lustrous ivory-white surface gives the cup a warm, calm presence. Its restrained color and gentle sheen keep the form elegant, allowing the Linglong details to remain subtle until they meet the light.
A rounded form with considered details
The handle-free silhouette is compact and softly rounded. A clean rim, flowing wall and balanced base keep the cup visually quiet, while the Linglong pattern adds detail for closer viewing.
A cat hidden in the light
The cat is expressed through the Linglong pattern rather than a bold colored print. Quiet at first glance and clearer in sunlight, it adds a gentle moment of playfulness without turning the cup into a cartoon object.
A quiet gift for someone special
Small, useful and rich in detail, this cup makes a thoughtful gift for someone who loves cats, tea, white porcelain or understated design—whether for a birthday, a thank-you or an everyday gesture of care.
Made for personal tea and gongfu brewing
With an approximate capacity of 130 ml, the cup suits personal tea sessions, gongfu-style brewing and repeated small pours. Its scale keeps the tea close while leaving room to appreciate aroma, color and changing light.
Small enough to hold close
The compact, rounded cup rests naturally in the hand. Lift it toward a window and the Linglong pattern responds to the sunlight, turning a simple tea moment into a closer encounter with porcelain and light.
Size & Specifications
Shaped through daily practice
Ceramic work is built through repeated attention—from refining the form and working with the pattern to glazing and firing. In the studio, experience is expressed through quiet, patient decisions made at every stage.
Checked by hand in natural light
Finished pieces are examined in natural light. The rim, form, porcelain surface and Linglong pattern are observed carefully before the cup is prepared for packaging and the next part of its journey.
