Blue Qilin Ceramic Bowl

Texture & Material
Named for the mythical Qilin—whose skin inspires this pattern and embodies auspicious harmony—this vessel carries the depth of legend into daily tea. Its deep indigo glaze shimmers with a metallic luster, echoing the night sky at its most infinite. Across this celestial field, silver dendritic veins spread upward like living constellations, their rhythm intensifying toward the rim as if the bowl itself were channeling cosmic currents.

The Alchemy of Creation
Fired at 1320 °C in reduction, copper oxide (CuO) precipitates into radiant silver dendrites, while iron compounds stabilize the midnight-blue depth through controlled oxidation. Boron-rich glaze (B₂O₃) ensures molten fluidity, allowing these crystalline branches to self-organize into their star-like formations.

Perfect Pairing:

• Oolong or jasmine green tea

• Fresh berries and fruit-based desserts

• Gin, sake, or chilled rice wine
