【Young Mineral Pigment Artist】
Lian Yang is a contemporary artist dedicated to the study, preservation, and innovation of traditional Chinese culture. She focuses on the revival and modernization of Chinese mineral pigment (rock-painting) art, bridging heritage techniques with contemporary artistic expression.
In 2018, Lian Yang created a mineral pigment painting of Yang Yuhuan titled “Flying Dance of Joy” for the popular game Honor of Kings, which was later collected by the French National Museum Alliance.
Her work has been widely recognized by major Chinese media, including Xinhua News and Xuexi Qiangguo, establishing her as a leading figure in promoting a culturally empowered China.
【A Masterpiece Brought to Life on Porcelain】
The patterns on this gaiwan faithfully reproduce Lian Yang’s signature mineral pigment artwork, seamlessly combining lotus flowers, the auspicious Little Star Fairy, and koi fish into a harmonious composition.
The vibrant colors capture not only the luminous brilliance of Lian Yang’s original “golden” tones but also carry rich Chinese cultural meanings: lotus for purity and harmony, koi fish for prosperity and perseverance, and the Little Star Fairy for blessings and happiness.
Every detail on the porcelain gaiwan brings the artwork to life, making it both a functional tea vessel and a collectible piece that embodies beauty, fortune, and cultural elegance.
【Smooth as Jade — Crafted from White Porcelain】
This gaiwan is made from Dehua white porcelain, celebrated as the “China White” for its exceptional purity and elegance. Produced through a meticulous process with a low yield rate, each piece undergoes dozens of rigorous steps to shape and fire the body.
The result is a thin, translucent porcelain with a soft, jade-like luster, delicate yet durable, embodying the timeless beauty and refinement of traditional Chinese craftsmanship.
【Blessings and Elegance — A Luxurious Work of Art】
The gaiwan features intricate gold-line patterns on the lid knob, cup base, lotus flowers, and the auspicious Little Star Fairy, radiating luxury and refinement. These golden motifs carry the traditional Chinese blessing of “wealth and abundance”, symbolizing prosperity, harmony, and good fortune.
More than just a tea vessel, this gaiwan is a masterful work of art, exquisitely crafted to bring beauty and cultural meaning into everyday life. Its elegance and symbolism make it a perfect collectible or gift that celebrates the richness of Chinese tradition.
