Hangzhou Elements

Hangzhou Elements is a set of porcelain cups and saucers inspired by the culture of Hangzhou. The blue and white patterns combine the scenery of the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon in West Lake with motifs of Liangzhu culture. Each piece is made with traditional Jingdezhen craftsmanship and fired at 1300 degrees Celsius, which keeps the decoration vivid and the material durable. A contoured handle and an irregular saucer improve comfort in use. The collection is intended for daily use and for festive gifting.
