Handmade Impressed Porcelain - The Art of Touch in Dehua Craftsmanship

Handmade Impressed Porcelain represents a delicate dialogue between carving and painting — a hallmark of Dehua Porcelain, known for its purity and jade-like translucence. In this traditional process, artisans press hand-carved molds or patterned plates onto semi-dry clay, creating soft reliefs or subtle textures across the surface. The artistry lies in precision — enough pressure to define beauty, yet gentle enough to preserve the porcelain’s perfect balance and form.

After forming, each piece is naturally dried and undergoes multiple firings: bisque firing, glazing, and high-temperature firing at 1280°C–1320°C. This traditional Dehua technique yields porcelain that is both dense and silky, glowing with an inner warmth. During firing, the impressed motifs merge seamlessly with the glaze, creating a serene interplay of light and shadow — the essence of Authentic Chinese Ceramics.

Unlike industrial transfers, hand-pressed porcelain celebrates individuality. Slight variations in pressure, glaze movement, and kiln atmosphere ensure that every piece is truly one of a kind. This subtle imperfection — the artist’s touch made visible — transforms these cups and saucers into living expressions of time and craftsmanship.
