This exquisite pair of ceramic master cups showcases the artistry of Jingdezhen porcelain craftsmanship. Each cup is delicately hand-painted with vivid rooster motifs. The word “rooster” sounds like “luck” in Chinese
character, making it a symbol of
good fortune and prosperity. It also represents
diligence and vitality, as the rooster crows at dawn to greet a new day.
The rooster’s crow is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring light and protection to the home. It also stands for success in career and promotion, as its posture embodies confidence and integrity. Therefore, rooster motifs on porcelain are often used to convey good luck, courage, and bright prospects for the future.
The other side of each cup features elegant Chinese calligraphy, adding a refined cultural touch.
The glaze displays a gentle sky-blue tone with flowing white streaks that naturally form during the high-temperature firing process, creating a graceful, mist-like texture. The inner rim is finished with a soft green glaze, harmonizing beautifully with the outer blue surface.
Craftsmanship Process:
-
Material Selection: High-quality kaolin clay from Jingdezhen is used for its purity and fineness.
-
Shaping: The cup body is formed using a wheel-throwing technique to achieve a smooth and symmetrical shape.
-
Biscuit Firing: The shaped cups are first fired at low temperature to increase strength.
-
Glazing: A sky-blue glaze is carefully applied by hand, followed by the inner green glaze.
-
High-Temperature Firing: The cups are fired at about 1300°C, allowing the glazes to melt and flow naturally, forming unique patterns.
-
Hand Painting: Skilled artists paint roosters and inscriptions using traditional ceramic pigments.
Overglaze Firing: A final firing process fixes the paintings, ensuring lasting color and luster.
