A modern reading of the classic Song meiping — the "plum vase" form favoured by scholars for a single flowering branch. Thrown on a kick wheel from Gaoling kaolin, then dipped in a plum-green celadon glaze that breaks into a fine ice-crackle across the shoulder. The colour shifts from pale jade in daylight to deep river-green at dusk; no two pieces react to the kiln in quite the same way.

器以载道

“雨过天青云破处，这般颜色做将来。”

Celadon is the rarest glaze to master — one extra breath in the kiln and the green turns grey; one degree too hot and the crackle vanishes. This is why fewer than one in five pieces survives our firing to reach our vermilion seal.
