{"product_id":"auspicious-light-jingdezhen-handcrafted-linglong-porcelain-tea-infuser","title":"Auspicious Light | Jingdezhen Handcrafted Linglong Porcelain Tea Infuser","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuspicious Light brings together the cool translucency of Yingqing porcelain (影青瓷), the luminous detail of Linglong craftsmanship (玲瓏工藝) and finely carved Chinese motifs in a complete three-piece vessel for individual loose-leaf tea brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Jingdezhen from high-fired white porcelain, the mug is finished with the subtle blue-white cast traditionally associated with Yingqing ware. The restrained glaze allows the carved imagery to remain soft under ordinary light, then become more defined as light moves across or passes through the porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decorative scenes are formed through relief carving, meaning the imagery is worked directly into the porcelain body rather than printed only on the surface. Fine changes in depth reveal scales, clouds, sails and flowing contours with a quiet dimensional quality, giving each design a presence that becomes more apparent upon close viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lower band of Linglong openwork adds another layer of craftsmanship. Small decorative openings are carefully formed in the porcelain and filled with translucent glaze before firing. Once finished, the openings remain smooth and sealed while allowing light to pass through, producing the softly illuminated pattern visible around the base of the mug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo auspicious designs are available. Dragon Phoenix presents the traditional Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Motif (龍鳳呈祥), a symbol associated with harmony, prosperity and auspicious union. The composition is enriched with carved cloud and flame motifs, creating movement around the principal figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth Sailing takes its inspiration from the blessing “May Every Journey Be Smooth” (一帆風順). A traditional sailing vessel moves beneath flowing clouds, expressing the wish for steady progress, favourable journeys and success without obstruction. The scene is rendered with the same restrained relief-carving technique, allowing the ship and sails to emerge gradually from the pale porcelain surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mug is designed as a complete individual brewing system. Its three-piece construction includes the main vessel, a removable porcelain tea infuser and a fitted lid. The infuser is perforated with closely arranged drainage holes that allow water to circulate freely around the tea leaves while helping separate them from the finished liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the tea has reached the desired strength, the infuser can be lifted from the mug and placed on the inverted lid. This keeps the brewing area neat and prevents the leaves from continuing to steep, making it easier to control the concentration of each infusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe generously shaped handle keeps the hand separated from the heated porcelain body and provides a secure grip during daily use. The pale interior also creates a neutral background for observing the colour and clarity of the tea liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for tea at home, in a private study or at the office, Auspicious Light combines the convenience of an individual infuser mug with the material depth and symbolic decoration of traditional Jingdezhen porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Origin: Made in \u003cstrong\u003eJingdezhen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Product:\u003cbr\u003e1 × Porcelain Mug\u003cbr\u003e1 × Porcelain Tea Infuser\u003cbr\u003e1 × Lid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Jingdezhen \u003c\/strong\u003ewith traditional porcelain-making methods, each with a unique design and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jingdezhen","offers":[{"title":"Dragon \u0026 Phoenix","offer_id":49737555706008,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Smooth Sailing","offer_id":49737555738776,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1425\/9096\/files\/1_4feb5c07-c445-4afb-8b94-b88c9ea2a0d9.jpg?v=1787598132","url":"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/products\/auspicious-light-jingdezhen-handcrafted-linglong-porcelain-tea-infuser","provider":"Fung Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
