OLD STORIES. NEW RITUALS.

A story you can
hold in your hands.

The Nine-Colored Deer. The trailing lotus. Motifs that bring a sense of wonder to the familiar shape of a cup.

In this Ruci Dongren collection, blue brushwork meets a warm, mottled glaze and touches of gold. Look closer: there is always another line to follow, another detail to notice.

FROM THE NOTEBOOK

For the love of everyday.

Little ideas for choosing well,
caring gently, and slowing down.

EVERYDAY RITUALS

A moment, just for you.

Your favourite drink. A quiet corner. A cup worth reaching for.

Read the noteClose the note

Start with the drink you enjoy most and a serving size that suits it. Leave a little space at the rim, find a comfortable place to sit, and give yourself a moment before the next thing on your list. For hot drinks, check the maker’s guidance and remember that a handleless cup can become hot.

MATERIALS & CARE

A little care goes a long way.

Keep the delicate details looking their best, sip after sip.

Read the noteClose the note

For decorated porcelain, follow the maker’s specific care instructions. A soft cloth, mild detergent and gentle hand washing are a cautious starting point. Avoid abrasive pads, prolonged soaking and sudden temperature changes. Do not microwave cups with metallic decoration, and confirm dishwasher suitability before using one.

THE ART OF GIVING

A gift with a daily place.

For the tea lover, the coffee person, or your favourite host.

Read the noteClose the note

Think about what they drink, how they hold a cup, and the space they have at home. A single cup makes a personal gesture; a pair invites a shared ritual. Check the chosen edition’s contents, dimensions and care instructions with the seller, then add a handwritten note to make it their own.

Less rushing. More noticing.

Here’s to your next favourite cup.
