The rim of this tea set is as smooth as skin and shine as sunlight.
This tea cup is in the simple yet graceful ancient forms of Song Dynasty porcelain (960 - 1279).
The outer surface of this fine porcelain is in a fresh green gradients while the interior is covered with 24K gold through a high temperature of 1330 degrees.

Stemming from the artist’s interest in rare ancient Chinese tea cup glazes, RAN Xiangfei seeks to create glazes that have a three-dimensional quality and convey purity and peacefulness. His forms can be characterized as classic, calm, and balanced in aesthetic. His porcelains are pristine, grace and fine, disarmingly simple, contemplative objects whose finishes reflect the panoply of the natural world — spring flowers, mountain under clouds, moonlight, star-filled nights, undulating ocean waves, and fiery sunsets.

RAN Xiangfei uses the old Chinese process of throwing, glazing, firing, and painting, that is as refined and complex as the artwork itself. All his works are handmade in the full ancient Chinese Imperial Kiln process of Jindezhen since 1000 years.

Porcelains created by RAN Xiangfei won numerous significant international awards like Best of Best of Red Dot in Germany at age of 23, and are included in significant museum collections as Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
